The Society arranges a popular programme of open meetings.

The evenings occasionally include entertainment by local singers and musicians. The Society sometimes arranges outings to places of interest within the region. Ever since its formation, the Society has been collecting photographic and documentary reminders of Littleport past and present. These items of memorabilia are now housed in our headquarters at 'The Barn' adjacent to the Main Street car park. Our Bookstall offers a varied selection of our own Publications, as well as books by some local authors.
