GADDFAS is a member of the National Association of Decorative and Fine Arts Societies which has more than 350 member societies and 90.000 members in the UK and worldwide. At regional level we are part of the East Midlands Area.

NADFAS was formed to bring together people who were interested in the decorative and fine arts and wished to hear professionally delivered lectures by experts in their respective fields. Visits to museums and galleries, historic houses and gardens, relate to lecture subjects and enable members to broaden their knowledge and interests in a wide range of subjects.

GADDFAS was set up in the year 2000 and currently has a membership in the region of 240, drawn from Grantham and the local area. Meetings are held on the 3rd Tuesday of the month commencing at 10.50 a.m. in the excellent facilities of the Guildhall Theatre. Refreshments before and after the meeting may be purchased at the Guildhall Café.
