Monthly winter meetings, Wednesday evenings.

'The Chichester Literary Society was formed in January 2005. Its predecessor, the West Sussex Literary Society (founded by Irene Campbell) was disbanded and the new society formed in response to the wishes of members, who wanted a Chichester-based society, rather than one whose meetings were held in different locations around the county ... Since its formation, the Society has gone from strength to strength. Throughout the year it offers a wide range of talks by speakers on many literary subjects.'

'Non-profit making local society whose aim is to provide an annual programme of talks for members. We are neither a book-group nor a commercial literary festival: all our lectures are given by academics and published authors, and are always a great deal more substantial than simple author readings ... Before and after our talks we always enjoy a glass of wine together in the evenings, or tea and cakes in the afternoons.'
