NEXT EVENT
The Wynkyn de Worde Society
Summer Luncheon
Thursday 23 July 2026 | Goodenough College | 12:15 for 12:40pm
The aestival month of July will soon be upon us, which means it is time for our Summer Luncheon.
Please do invite guests to what will be a convivial afternoon in the heart of literary London and join us at Goodenough College – our splendid new home in Bloomsbury.
Following Prosecco in the Quad, we will process into the Great Hall for a seasonal barbecue luncheon (mortar boards and academic gowns are optional). Our esteemed Charitable Trust will also run a silent auction of some beautiful early twentieth-century ephemera, and a signed silkscreen print, Brazil 1988 by the pioneer of British Pop Art, Sir Eduardo Paolozzi. Via printed sheets you can silently bid on a range of items, from vintage railway labels, to elaborate illustrated stationery, or indeed the Paolozzi print itself. Come prepared to invest in some inspiring print.
Additionally we will have an opportunity to meet with Olivia Ho, the Librarian of Goodenough College. Olivia will show us some of the treasures from their special collection, such as John Rocque’s map of London, issues of The Yellow Book, first editions from the Hogarth Press, plus works from the lesser known Chelsea based Swan Press. However, due to the limited space in the Library, tours will be on a first come first served basis, so to peruse these amazing publications, please sign up for a tour when you arrive.
