Volunteers Always Needed
We thrive because of our incredible volunteers - can you join us?
Our Meeting Place
The modern Manchester Central Library is our venue for our in-person monthly meetings. The library is situated in the cultural heart of the city and is served by the St Peters Square Metrolink interchange.
Our Meeting Rooms
Anglo Scots meetings at the library are normally held in the Performance Space on the ground floor and are accessible to all. The rooms are large, spacious and airy, disabled facilities are nearby and the library café is on the same floor.
Our Meetings Online
Global events led to us arranging meetings online via Zoom and we met members who lived beyond travelling distance to Manchester. We now offer a mix of in-person and online meetings to benefit all our members.
Meetings
Please note that our usual meeting date is now the 1st Saturday of each month, not the 3rd Saturday as previously, and this applies to both in-person and online events.
Free to Members
Our meetings are normally free to members with a small charge of £3 to non-members. Outside visits may incur admission charges for members and non-members.
Booking
Booking on Eventbrite is essential for meetings with invited speakers and for online meetings. Please follow us here, on Eventbrite and on social media, for booking details.
