Dilettanti

Dilettanti Dilettanti was established in 1980 to promote the enjoyment and appreciation of the arts.

Unlocking the delights of the cultural past whether it is visiting great houses and exhibitions or exploring historic areas of a city, or looking at a painting. Our aim is to bring alive the history, culture, taste and ideas of society from past ages through lectures and visits, combining a scholarly approach with a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere. We organise visits to outstanding collections a

Everybody should visit the historic market town of Warwick. Our two-day visit in early October 2023 began with a tour of the magnificent Collegiate Church of St Mary, most famous for the Beauchamp Chapel which was begun in 1443 followed by the Lord Leycester Hospital founded in 1571 by Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester.
In bright sunshine we explored the romantic ruin of Kenilworth Castle, delving with our splendid guide into the medieval world of John of Gaunt and the renaissance splendour created Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester who entertained Elizabeth 1 most lavishly in 1575.
