2026: Ideas We Hope Stick
As we head into a new year, we’ve been thinking about 2026. Not in a crystal-ball kind of way, but in a practical, roll-your-sleeves-up kind of way. These are some* of our wishes for 2026.
We're launching a new membership option for our book club. You get to stay in the loop and get exclusive perks!
Our book club members are what make each event a joyful and have developed a really lovely community amongst themselves. We want the book club to keep going and the only way we’ll be able to make this work is through your support.
The purpose of the book club is to be affordable for all, so we’re still keeping a free membership option for those who want to stay up-to-date on the latest read and want to continue to have access to the monthly meet ups. You can see below the different membership options available and choose which is the best fit for you.

The future of LAC Book Club
We’ll be looking ahead at hosting some exclusive member only events, ranging from invited authors giving a talk or reading to writing workshops with local writers and poets. We want to develop an online community and keep the conversations going outside of the meet ups, a space to voice your thoughts and opinions but to also get encouragement and give yourself the permission and time to read in an ever increasingly busy world.
Help us to make the future of LAC Book Club a reality by becoming a member.
Currently membership is only purchasable directly from our box office or over the phone but soon you’ll be able to purchase your membership online.
Contact us on 01522 837600 or come to our box office open Monday – Friday 10am – 4pm.
