PROBUS VISITS

Probus organises a number of visits each year, to which partners are invited.

We aim to organise a variety of “experiences” including visits to places of historical interest, musical events, gardens and stately homes plus places of general interest  

All visits include a lunch, and transport by coach where appropriate.

The club publishes a schedule of visits each year, which inevitably includes some returns to visits.

PREVIOUS VISITS

We have regularly visited theatres, including Chichester, Guildford and Brighton.
