WADAC is a friendly, supportive art club for adults in Wallingford and the surrounding villages. We run classes, demonstrations, club evenings, workshops and sketching days throughout the year.
Most activities are open to non-members, but joining the club gives you lower fees, priority booking and free access to many events.
From 1 January 2026, annual membership is £44 per year. New members joining after 1 July pay £22 for the rest of that year.
How membership saves you money
You can join in with WADAC’s various events and classes without being a member but if you take part regularly, membership quickly more than pays for itself. The table below shows the maximum potential annual saving if you come to everything across the year.
| Activity | Member fee | Non-member fee | Total savings per year |
| Morning classes | £85 x 7 terms = £595 | £100 x 7 terms = £700 | £105 |
| Afternoon classes | £90 x 6 terms | £110 x 6 terms | £120 |
| Tuesday evening painting | Free x 38 | £10 x 38 | £380 |
| Monthly artist demos | Free x 8 | £10 per demo x 8 | £80 |
| Workshop days (3 x pa) | £45 x 3 = £135 | £60 x 3 = £180 | £45 |
| Sketch days (2 x pa) | Free | £10 x 2 | £20 |
| TOTAL POTENTIAL SAVINGS | £750 |
- Doing both daytime classes all year saves around £225
- Coming to Tuesday evenings and demos only saves up to £460
- Adding workshops and sketch days increases your savings further
