Chawton House runs a monthly reading group. We read texts by or about women writers of the (very) long eighteenth century, many of which are in the Chawton House collection. Our reading group meetings are informal, with all levels of education and knowledge welcome.
Session Details
From September 2024 to June 2025, we will continue to hold two reading groups, usually on the third Monday of each month, facilitated by Kim Simpson (Deputy Director, Chawton House): one onsite at Chawton House (12pm in the Billiards Room), and one online (3.30/4pm). The group usually runs for an hour and a half, and details of timings and Zoom joining details are sent out one week in advance. An online sign-up sheet is available for members. To join the mailing list, please email kim.simpson@chawtonhouse.org
Subs
For those joining in person, the £3 fee includes tea/coffee and cake, and we’d encourage our online participants to donate if possible. For those wanting to pay online, please use this site. You can either pay as you go for individual sessions, or pay for the year (suggested donation: £30 for onsite, £10 for online).
