The full programme for 2025-26 is now available on this website so head over to our 2025-2026 Programme and secure your membership now. Our next talk will be:

Tuesday 03 March – Marie Conte-Helm – Japanese Gardens. Historical developments and religious and philosophical influences have informed the Japanese approach to the visual arts. This talk will also draw upon wider examples to illustrate the distinctive qualities that the Japanese have brought to garden design, an approach that has been successfully adapted to modern domestic settings and to Japanese gardens abroad.

Please urge your friends to come and join us this season. The price of membership remains the same at £46. A season ticket is still worth buying even if you miss the first couple of talks. As we charge £10 for a single talk, if you plan to attend 5 or more the season ticket becomes best value.

We are always planning ahead, so please email us if you know of a good speaker who you think would fit with our aims: members@grangelecturesociety.org. We are keen to explore your ideas.

We are currently looking for someone to take on the role of Membership Secretary. Ability to use a simple spreadsheet would be important. This role has a flurry of activity around September and early October when membership is being taken. The rest of the year tasks are limited, structured and straight forward. Do contact us if you would be willing to help.

Looking forward to welcoming you soon. A big thank you to our committee of trustees who have put so much of their own time into making Grange Lecture Society a great success.
