The Classical Association Derbyshire Branch Book Club: Plato’s Symposium

The Derbyshire Classical Association Book Club is holding a meeting focused on Plato’s Symposium, bringing together readers with an interest in classical texts and discussion. The event takes place at The Lion Hotel in Belper and is part of the Derbyshire branch’s wider programme of talks, book group meetings and classical events.

Alongside the meeting itself, the page provides several optional resources for attendees who want to prepare in advance, including BBC audio programmes and free translations of the text online. This suggests the session is designed to support both experienced readers and those who want an accessible introduction to one of Plato’s best-known works.

The Classical Association also notes that membership gives access to a range of talks, members-only social events and free entry to DCA Book Group meetings, as well as reduced prices for some partner events. Anyone interested in attending should check the membership and event information provided by the Derbyshire branch.
