PROGRAMME OF FORTHCOMING EVENTS

Live talks take place at the University Women's Club in Mayfair. We stream some talks, usually from overseas speakers, via Zoom. Whenever possible, talks are recorded and made available to members via the Members' Area of the website.

We also organise trips and tours for members and their guests. These are advertised in the monthly newsletters.

The Oriental Rug & Textile Society’s end of term annual event is always a wonderfully friendly and relaxed way to meet fellow enthusiasts. This year’s event will be hosted at Broad Oak, near Rye, in East Sussex.

Lunch will be followed by a sale/auction of items brought by members. Funds raised will go towards supporting the activities of the Society.

Members and their guests welcome. Please contact Dimity Spiller for information about how to get there and what to bring.
