The RSL offers an exciting programme of monthly events, including lectures, debates and poetry readings. Recent speakers have included Philip Pullman, George Steiner, Michael Holroyd, Claire Tomalin, Mark Haddon, Beryl Bainbridge and Hilary Mantel, and highlights of the spring 2010 season include Seamus Heaney: A Life in Poetry, to be held at Kings Place on 22nd February.

Fellows and Members are invited to attend any of these meetings.  Due to the increasing popularity of events, Members can no longer bring a guest for free. However, Members' guests can purchase tickets for the discounted rate of £5.  Seating is limited, so we would advise arriving as early as possible.  Doors open at 6pm.

Members of the public are also welcome to attend, and there will be up to 30 tickets for non-members on the door at each event, which will be sold on a first-come-first-served basis from 6pm. We suggest a contribution of £7 (£5 concessions). All meetings will begin punctually at 7pm, and are held in the Kenneth Clark Lecture Theatre, Courtauld Institute, Somerset House, Strand, WC2, unless otherwise stated. Events are increasingly popular, and the only way to guarantee a seat is to become a member.
