Arena News – January 2026

Here we are at the start of 2026. Already the days are starting to get longer and the Spring bulbs are starting to raise their heads. Hurrah!! Here’s to the start of what we hope will be a wonderful year of photography for each and every one of us.

Arena Seminar

In case you missed it, the Arena Seminar 2026 is open for booking. This will be our 40th Seminar, taking place over the weekend of 20th to 22nd March, and is definitely not to be missed. We are pleased to be returning to the Riviera Hotel in Bournemouth, where we can enjoy the excellent service and facilities that have been a hallmark of previous years.

So far we have had a terrific response and are well on our way to another capacity Seminar. If you hope to attend but haven’t yet reserved your spot, please don’t hesitate for too much longer!

To mark the 40th Anniversary we are planning an additional event which will take place on the Friday evening. Arena has a long and rich history which we will start to explore over time by way of this newsletter and as part of the Seminar itself, starting with a comprehensive display of mounted prints by Arena members past and present in the Mauritania Suite.
