Outings

Saturday 21 June 2025
Visit to Charleston House
The first suggestion is a visit to 'Charleston farmhouse' at Firle in East Sussex. This was the home of Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant of the Bloomsbury set. Click here to download the Booking Form.

Saturday 22 November 2025
Outing to 'Christmas at Kew'
Outing by coach. Last year we booked to see the Christmas Lights display at Kew Gardens - but sadly a severe storm forced Kew to cancel the event for the day we were due to go. Tickets sell out rapidly, as early as May. Click here for more details.
To those who were disappointed last year, and others who are interested to go this year, please help the organisers estimate the number of places required by phoning: Anne Eames on 020 8950 2609. or email anne.eames@icloud.com.

Date to be decided
Outing to William Morris Gallery
Some Friends have proposed a visit to the William Morris Gallery in Walthamstow, which celebrates its 75th year in 2025. Built in the 1740s, the Grade II* listed building was William Morris's family home from 1848 to 1856 and now serves as the only public Gallery devoted to William Morris. Following a major redevelopment, the Gallery re-opened in 2012. Please let us know if you are interested.
