Events

The British Institute of Florence organises a regular programme of lectures, concerts, theatrical performances and films as well as other events throughout the year.

Weekly Cultural Programme

Every Wednesday at 18.00 from September to June there is a lecture, concert or other event in the Sala Ferragamo in the Harold Acton Library followed by an informal drinks reception.

The British Institute of Florence receives no Government funding and welcomes donations, however small, to support our Library and Cultural Programme.

Please come early to secure a seat and avoid disappointment.

Talking Pictures

Each season takes a specific theme or personality from the world of cinema. The format is a brief spoken introduction based on a prepared handout, the screening of the film, and an informal follow-up discussion. Screenings are usually in English.

Reading Exchange

The reading exchange meets three times a year and gives you the opportunity to talk about a book you have enjoyed and listen to the choices of others. It is open to all.

Other Events at the British Institute

We organise other events throughout the year including Shakespeare week in April, Bloomsday in June and conferences, exhibitions, seminars and concerts.
