Books and banter with Levison Wood Wednesday 12th May
Friends of Highclere Book Club
Highclere Castle’s Library is one of the most famous libraries on screen. Many scenes from Downton Abbey have taken place within the warmth and harmony of this room.
Nestled within the world-famous library of Highclere Castle, home to around 6,000 books, the Highclere Castle Book Club offers the perfect setting for lovers of literature. Each month, Friends of Highclere are invited to settle onto the iconic red
sofas for a convivial evening hosted by Lady Carnarvon.
The evening begins with champagne, tea, and home-made sandwiches, before continuing with a private tour of the Castle’s state rooms, led by one of Highclere’s knowledgeable guides.
Every gathering welcomes a distinguished guest from the world of books, whether in biography, non-fiction, or fiction. Past speakers have included Tim Marshall, Liz Earle, Sinclair McKay, Santa Montefiore, Lydia Millen, and Susie Dent, making each
event a memorable and inspiring occasion.
Diary Date – Wednesday 12th May
Our next guest for Book Club is Levison Wood - The Great Tree Story 
Levison Wood is a world-renowned explorer, writer, and photographer who has spent his lifetime exploring wild spaces with curiosity. In Levison's most recent book, The Great Tree Story, he writes about the importance of trees and forests- the role that they play in shaping human history.
Trees offer us so much, they are markers of time. Here at Highclere, there are many beautiful ancient and wise trees, which offer us time out during a busy day. In Levison's book, he writes about the relationship we can have with nature and what it can in fact offer us if we really look and listen. It is about being grateful.
Free event for Patrons and Friends of Highclere.
We would be delighted for you to join us for our Book Club and become a Patron or Friend of Highclere.
