Exclusive to our members, our 'Showcoach' programme offers monthly group excursions to exhibitions, concerts and musicals, heritage sites, theatres and museums, plus once a year we organise short residential trips. Recent visits include Chichester Theatre , the Royal Albert Hall and Tate Britain, and our most recent residential trip took all Showcoachers to Northumberland for three nights.
We know how important safe transport and like-minded companionship is for our members, and we make every effort to ensure ease of access for all. Coach pick-up points are available across the borough.
One of our recent trips to Northumberland, which included guided tours of local sights.
Recent exhibition outings include Tutankhamun: Treasures of the Golden Pharoah, at the Saatchi Gallery.
We recently went to see a production of 'Top Hat' at The Mill on Sonning.
This Gallery was founded in 1904 as the only gallery in the UK devoted to a single artist. The Artists’ Village offers a unique insight into the life and work of ‘England’s Michelangelo’, Frederick George Watts, and his wife Mary Watts, the designer and founder of The Potters’ Art Guild at Compton They shared a vision that art has the power to change society and should be available for everyone to experience and enjoy. This legacy is continued in many different ways: through the collection and exhibitions, contemporary art projects and community engagement.
After coffee/tea and biscuits on arrival at 11.00 we will be split into two groups. At 11.30 the 1st group will have a guided Gallery tour, whilst the 2nd group will be free to explore the temporary exhibition and Limnerslease, the Artist’s Home, or the Contemporary exhibition until 12.30 when a sandwich lunch (included in cost) will be served.
