The Franco-British Society is an independent charitable organisation, privileged to have His Majesty King Charles III as its patron.
Founded in 1924, although its roots go back to the Entente Cordiale at the beginning of the 20th century. It is dedicated to encouraging closer relations between Britain and France and acts as a focus for those individuals, groups and companies who wish to keep in touch with France, her culture, history and current affairs.
Whether British, French or other, all are welcome and Members are invited to attend a series of events throughout the year, offering a range of educational, current affairs, cultural and social activities, hosted in prestigious and interesting venues.
Following on Brexit, the Society believes that relations between our two countries are as important now as they have ever been.
New members are warmly welcomed. More information on memberships can be found HERE
