Welcome to the Anglo-Danish Society

The Anglo-Danish Society was established to further relations between Britain and Denmark and today organises a lively programme of cultural and social events in the UK - mostly with privileged access - for Brits and Danes to enjoy each other's culture and company. 

We have a low membership fee and welcome new applications to join - you can download a Membership Application Form here.

The Society enjoys the patronage of Her Majesty the Queen and Her Majesty the Queen of Denmark. It also has the active support of the Royal Danish Embassy and a number of Danish and British companies and organisations.

60 YEARS OF SCHOLARSHIPS

The Society awarded its first scholarship in 1959 and continues to grant scholarships for the purpose of post-graduate study or research to British and Danish students. Each year awards are made to 9 students for study in the other country.

Awards are not limited to any specific subject, with the exception of an award sponsored by the Ove Arup Foundation for a student working in the field of the 'Built Environment'.

HRH The Duchess of Gloucester is the Protector of the Scholarship Programme and we are a registered charity (No 313202).

We are entirely staffed by volunteers and rely on donations to fund the Scholarship Programme. For information on how you can help us continue this work please see the Support Our Scholars Appeal >
