Regional Groups

Regional Groups

One of the benefits of being a member of the SPAB is access to our Regional Groups, who arrange visits, events, and meetings across the country. You have to be a member to join a group and to book events online. Learn more about the benefits of being a member.

Joining a Regional Group means you can participate in activities organised by our volunteers. SPAB members enjoy priority booking to a wide range of events ranging from guided tours of private houses and on-site visits to 'live' repair projects at significant historic buildings - including cathedrals and major houses - to technical workshops on traditional building skills and crafts. Join a network of building enthusiasts and professionals in your area.

If you are already a SPAB member, you can subscribe to any of our regional groups using our online form. But please make sure you log in first using the red login button at the top of the page.

All our Regional Groups are set up and run by volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering on a Regional Group committee, or in starting a new group, please get in touch.
