Welcome to the British Flute Society

The British Flute Society is Europe's oldest flute organisation and has a lot to offer its members. Pan, the Society's journal, is recognised world-wide as a highly informative and entertaining flute journal. Every quarter Pan brings you articles on all aspects of the flute and flute playing. It is the authoritative guide to the latest flute news, listings of concerts, courses and reviews of new music, books and recordings.

BFS Celebratory Picnic in the Park

Bring a picnic and join members of the BFS for an informal 30th anniversary celebration in Regent's Park following Trevor Wye's recital on Sunday 23 June (weather permitting).

The recital will conclude at approximately 5.30 pm and we propose that members of the audience should walk together to the York Gate entrance to Regent's Park, turn left just after York Bridge,  and meet on Holme Green (by the lake and bandstand). Please click here to view a map of Regent's Park.

Please note that the parks are home to a rich variety of wildlife and visitors are asked to follow simple guidelines when picnicking in the Royal Parks. Please read these guidelines carefully and remember to take home all litter.
