PHILIP LARKIN SOCIETY MEMBERSHIP

WHY SUPPORT OUR CHARITY?

Since The Philip Larkin Society was founded in 1995, ten years after the poet’s death, it has become a national and international focus for lovers of his writing.

As a member of the Society you will be able to join a group of like-minded people who appreciate all aspects of Larkin and his work: the librarian, the novelist, the photographer, the letter writer, the doodler, the jazz and literary critic and, of course, the poet.

We are an active Society; we hold events, publish About Larkin, our extremely prestigious journal twice yearly; we have an informative web-site, which aims to become the definitive source of all information relating to Larkin; we produce fascinating podcasts; distribute a lively, illustrated e-newsletter; populate a very rich YouTube channel and are a presence on X and Instagram. We also hold on-line meetings and forums and aim to reach out to our members on a regular basis.

The Society is a charity run entirely by enthusiastic volunteers. We have a wide national and international membership. Come and join us and help us to achieve our ambition of promoting awareness of Larkin’s work and encouraging and supporting new ventures. We can’t do any of this without our loyal membership. We would be delighted if you joined us.

Click on the appropriate ‘Join Now’ button below which will take you to our shop and check out. Subscriptions cover the whole membership period from 1st July to 30th June each year. Whenever you join, you will receive annually two issues of our journal About Larkin. There is a choice for those who want only the digital edition. You’ll be entitled to participate in whatever is being arranged in our stimulating programme of events.

For UK tax-payers, please take a moment to consider signing on to Gift Aid. It boosts what we receive from your subscription by 25% at no extra costs to yourself.

We are waiting to welcome you!

Current members of the Society may also pay their renewal fees here. Please note that you now have a choice of receiving About Larkin in hard copy (+ digital version) or the digital version only. Make sure that you choose the right button to indicate your choice – it will affect the rate you pay! All being well, you will have already received a renewal reminder email explaining the new membership rates.
