Welcome to the website for the  Aldeburgh Society. 
The Aldeburgh Society is a charity (No: 262239), based in Aldeburgh Suffolk, with over 500 members.
As the civic society for Aldeburgh, the Society was formed in 1974. Its aims are to care for and nurture the character of the town and its surroundings on the East Coast of Suffolk.
The Society holds a long-standing winter lecture series, hosting Friday evening events from October through to February. The primary purpose of the series is to entertain and inform members, (as residents and visitors to the town alike) on topics of interest, import and curiosity. The lecture series also raises a small amount of money, supporting projects in the town. Speakers have included notable figures from the fields of literature, current affairs, music, and history, with the subject matter designed to inform, entertain and often delight, as well as provoke debate.

Winter Lectures 2017/18
Charles Walker, Lifeboat Operations Manager Aldeburgh and Graeme Richardson, Area Lifesaving Manager,  gave the final lecture for 2017/18 on Friday 16 March 2018. The presentation including video footage of daring rescues by lifeboat crews was a great success with higher than usual attendance. We were honoured that some members of the crew were kind enough to join us as well for a most enlightening discussion about the future of the lifeboat in Aldeburgh and  what happens when it is replaced with a  new Shannon-class vessel by 2021.
The lecture series for 2018/19 is being woked on now- if anyone has any suggestions please let us know!
