Event Details
£80/£40 (student ticket)
Following successful Georgian Group symposia on Architecture and Design in 2024 and Wren in 2023, our 2025 Symposium will be on the topic of Architecture and Literature 1660- 1840. This Symposium will join the 2025 programme of events marking the 250th anniversary of the birth of Jane Austen.
The Symposium will be held on Saturday 12th April 2025 at Goodenough College, Mecklenburgh Square.
In the face of proposals for its partial redevelopment, in 1938 the Georgian Group campaigned for the preservation of the square, staging a successful fundraising Ball and Fair in the gardens. The Group’s aim was to ensure ‘that as many people as possible may see Mecklenburgh Square as it is now: one of the last perfect examples of Georgian architecture in London’. The Square is perhaps best known as the home of some of the most celebrated writers of the early 20th Century, including Virginia Woolf who lived at no. 37. Sadly, the square was damaged by enemy bombs in 1940.
A full programme for the day will be announced in due course.
Public tickets include refreshments and buffet lunch A limited number of student tickets are available here.
