VISITS AND TOURS
Each season The Arts Society Moor Park organises three or four full day excursions by coach (called Outside Visits), plus a UK Escorted Tour every spring and an Overseas Escorted Tour typically every two years in the autumn.
​
​​The closing date for booking and paying for each event is stated on the event flyer, but some events sell out before then, so it's wise to book early. If an event is oversubscribed, members' names are put on a standby list, in order of application date.
​
Members have priority booking for all our bookable events. However, should an event or tour be under-subscribed, places may at the discretion of the Organiser be made available to non-members and members of other Arts Societies, in order of application date.​
