Many Sherborne Literary Society events, held throughout the year, are talks given by nationally well-known authors about their latest book. Given the demand to hear them we hold these in a larger venue. The format will usually be a 40-minute talk, then questions and answers, followed by time to meet the author in a book-signing. ​

Apart from these larger events, we also hold smaller events in cosier venues where, for example, a local or less well-established author or poet, talks about their book(s) or a literary subject. Drinks and sometimes canapé buffets are provided and time is allowed to turn these events into lovely social occasions.
