The Kipling Society

The Kipling Society is a membership organisation and literary society that promotes the work of British author and Nobel laureateRudyard Kipling (1865–1936).

Its activities include regular meetings in the UK, a programme of lectures in London, and a formal annual luncheon with a distinguished guest speaker, as well as conferences. The society publishes The Kipling Journal three times a year, and hosts a comprehensive website, which includes a reader's guide to Kipling’s works. In addition, it runs an essay writing competition for schools, answers enquiries from the public (schools, publishers and writers), and works with the media.

The society, a registered charity, is managed by a council and run by the society's honorary officers. Its chairman is Gary Enstone, who is the curator and executive officer of the Museum of Richmond and was, for 16 years, the house and collections manager at Kipling's former home, Bateman's in East Sussex.
