Birthplace Book Club
Like a good book? Then try the Birthplace Book Club. Informal meetings, discussing the latest titles as read on BBC Radio 4's Book Club, are held at 1:00pm in the Museum's Birth Room on the first Wednesday of each month. New members always welcome and there is no membership charge.


Most of our events take place in the first-floor Birth Room, requiring access via many unavoidable steps. Standard entry to the museum is free of charge.
