CORONAVIRUS UPDATE
The ongoing coronavirus pandemic has disrupted our planned events programme and will continue to do so for the coming months.
The Annual Symposium, Annual Lecture and AGM will be held online this year (see below for details).
ONLINE LECTURES AND EVENTS
While we cannot arrange physical visits we are developing an online events programme to bring the FHS to you. We have arranged a series of free, online Sunday-evening lectures available to all, in collaboration with our colleagues at BIFMO (British & Irish Furniture Makers Online). This is a valuable addition to our Events programme and will continue in the future. Members are sent links to the lectures by email. Non-members are warmly invited to join us, by emailing our Events Secretary, Beatrice Goddard, at events@furniturehistorysociety.org for the link. Please keep checking the website for details of more lectures and follow us on Instagram for updates (@furniturehistorysociety).

GRANTS AVAILABLE for FHS UK & Overseas visits including one day visits
The FHS Grants Committee now meet quarterly to consider all applications from members, to support their participation in FHS foreign and UK study trips where the cost of a trip exceeds £45.

Cancellation Policy
Please note that no refunds will be given for cancellations for events costing £10.00 or less. In all other cases, cancellations will be accepted up to seven days before the date of a visit, but refunds will be subject to a £10.00 deduction for administrative costs. Please note that in the rare instances where members cannot pay until the day of a visit, they will still be charged the full amount for the day if cancelling less than seven days before the visit, or if they fail to attend. This is necessary as the Society has usually paid in advance for a certain number of members to participate in e.g. a tour/lunch. Separate arrangements are made for study weekends and foreign tours and terms are clearly stated on the printed details in each case.
