With a lively membership of over 500 people, The Central Fellowship’s annual calendar of events aims to provide ‘something for everyone’:  talks, walks, readings, visits, and opportunities for socialising in true Dickensian fashion!

Most of our talks are held at The Charterhouse, Charterhouse Square, London EC1M 6AN. Nearest stations: Barbican, Farringdon, Moorgate. Buses 4, 56, and 153 stop in front of Barbican station on Aldersgate Street, a five minute walk from Charterhouse Square.

There are social events for members during the year with free refreshments at Christmas, New Year and our outdoor meeting on Nuckells Gardens in September.  There are raffles, a book club, quizzes, a quarterly newsletter, performances by the Dickens Declaimers, the Annual Dinner and much more.  The Fellowship in Broadstairs is mindful of Dickens’s importance in the town and we regularly raise money for charity with public events and performances by the Dickens Declaimers.  We have first class speakers every month.
