The first is by Paul Atterbury, the well-known presenter and expert from Antiques Roadshow.
He will explore the lasting impact of the new style of domestic homes and gardens which emerged at the end of the Victorian era. This style was particularly influenced by William Morris, Edwin Lutyens and Gertrude Jekyll.
Secondly, Christopher Bradley will take the audience on a tour from Morocco to China, looking at both the religious and non-religious influences on Islamic art. He will visit some of the most important cities, sites and museums in the world.
New members and visitors are welcome. After the lecture there is always wine, supper and the opportunity to catch up with old friends and to meet new ones.
Membership is available for $140 per year or visitors can pay $25 at the door for each lecture.
Details: Berry School of Arts, Alexandra Street, Berry at 7.30pm.
