West Sussex Decorative and Fine Arts Society (WSDFAS) was founded in 1969 and became the twentieth member society of the National Association of Decorative and Fine Arts Societies(NADFAS).

In 2009 we are celebrating our 40th year as a society with a variety of special events & visits.

We provide our members with an excellent programme of illustrated lectures, arrange visits to galleries, museums, country houses and other places of cultural interest. We also organise study days and arrange an annual holiday either in the UK or abroad.

Meetings are held in Fittleworth Village Hall on the first Tuesday of each month at 2.15pm.During 2010 two meetings will be held on the first Tuesday in the morning at 11am - 5th March 2nd and November 2nd

Fittleworth is a convenient distance from Petworth, Pulborough, Arundel, Midhurst, Billingshurst and Chichester. There is ample parking at the Hall and visitors are welcome.



We have a library of some 500 books on all aspects of Fine Arts. These are kept at Fittleworth Village Hall and are available on loan free to members.

A group of Heritage Volunteers from the Society help at Petworth House putting the house to bed and taking care of the "batterie de cuisine".
We also have a group of Church Recorders who are currently working on the church at Storrington.
We are proud to be involved with the Young Arts Project in local primary schools.
