From the distant to the recent past, anywhere in the world.
The Society was established in the 1970s. It aims to encourage the study and enjoyment of architecture, buildings, their contents and settings by organising a monthly series of lectures through the winter months, and tours and visits to places of interest – near and far – in the summer. The lectures normally take place in Newcastle upon Tyne and the Society enjoys a close association with the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape of Newcastle University. Our lectures are open both in person and via Zoom, and recordings are available on YouTube to members.
The 2026-2027 programme is currently being finalised, and will be added to this website as soon as it is ready. Our first lecture of the season will be on 21 October 2026. We always welcome new members, the only qualification being an interest in the subject at whatever level.
