About Us

In 1912 a group of citizens came together to form the Leamington Literary and Philosophical Society for men, but 100 years later things have changed. Now everyone interested in reading is most welcome.

We meet at 7.30 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month, from September – June in the Dormer Conference Centre, located next to St. Peter's Church, Dormer Place, Leamington Spa (This is a new venue from 1st May 2012). Here we join our friends to listen to a lecture, often illustrated, on a wide variety of topics, including the work of novelists, poets and playwrights.
 
We occasionally have well known speakers from further afield, these events being open to the general public for a fee. They have included such names as Andrew Motion, Poet Laureate, and Andrew Davies of television fame. We also arrange outings to places of literary interest and belong to various associated societies. Separate poetry, novel and play reading groups meet monthly in members’ houses.
 
On this web site you can find out more about our current programme,  previous notable events, related groups, our Constitution and our Committee.
