What We Do

Activities

The Society holds regular talks and meetings in London and arranges visits to places of interest connected with Beatrix Potter. An annual Linder Memorial Lecture is given to commemorate the contribution to Beatrix Potter studies and research made by Leslie Linder and his sister Enid. The first of these was given at the Victoria and Albert Museum by Margaret Lane, as Patron of the Society.

Biennial International Study Conferences take place in the Lake District or Scotland and are attended by many overseas Members.

Publications

The quarterly Newsletter, issued free to Members, contains articles on a wide range of topics, from Beatrix Potter’s art and writings to her later life as sheep farmer and conservationist, as well as information about meetings and visits, reviews of books and exhibitions, Members’ letters and news of Beatrix Potter collections in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. It also contains items of interest to collectors and news of Potter merchandise.

The Society has an active publishing programme which includes the proceedings of its biennial Study Conferences and other works of original research, including memoirs and letters.
