About Us

Royal Holloway English Literature Society is an open and inclusive society for anyone with a love of literature. English students and those from other disciplines are equally welcomed - the society is a safe space to share your passion for all things literary! We look forward to hosting events specially planned for the lover of literature, including book club meetings, book swaps, literary themed trips and pub nights so that there’s something for every bookworm in English Literature Society. Feel free to contact us or come to The Packhorse and lend an ear to our discussion-led sessions - we promise that books are always the main character!

Membership

A year’s membership is £5. This goes towards the running of the society, and gives you access to our weekly meetings and events.  We really appreciate your support and have priced it as such in return for a year of literary fun!

Events and Activities

Over the next year we will hopefully be hosting the following: 

• Pub nights. Behind many famous works of literature is a good drink. 

• Quizzes. Do you know your Brontë from your Austen? This is a non-judgement zone, we promise...

• Book swaps. A brilliant way to try something you might have never have tried and a chance to force your favourites upon other unsuspecting members!

Plus more events such as fundraisers, bookshop crawls, reading sessions and trips out to literary locations.
