Sheffield Branch currently has 40 members. We study the works, life, and times of Charles Dickens, usually attached to reading a particular work each year. There is an annual programme of events designed to facilitate our study in a variety of ways - talks, trips, workshops, readings, musical and theatrical events. We hold an annual public reading of `A Christmas Carol` every December in aid of Sheffield's homeless people.
Our venue is in the city centre and easily accessible by public transport. There is good access for those with physical disability. Membership costs £12 a year.
