Welcome to Richmond Literary Lunches

Richmond Literary Lunches are quarterly events hosted at the beautiful Royal Mid-Surrey golf club, Old Deer Park.

We have joined forces with The Open Book, Richmond’s Oldest Bookshop, to bring to you a broad brush of authors who share their creativity, knowledge and talents with us.

The authors can speak for 10 minutes each or alternatively there may be a relaxed conversation before a Q&A session.

The lunches take place in a wonderful dining room with a view to Kew Gardens, the Kings Observatory and two golf courses. All this whilst enjoying a delicious two course lunch and a glass of wine!

Its all very informal and welcoming, do come and join us with your friends or make new ones with us.

I am just writing to say how much I enjoyed yesterday’s lunch. It has been a long time since I have had the pleasure and honour of sitting next to two such nice and interesting people. Congratulations!
