Leicestershire's only geological group, the Geology Section is rooted within the Leicester Literary and Philosophical Society, beginning in 1835, and offers a year-round range of activities for all those who have an interest in Planetary and Earth Sciences. The Section was formally founded in 1849, from the pre-existing in-house geological-interest group, which makes it now, at over 175 years, one of the oldest geological societies in the UK.

We are committed to maintaining the continuity, and health of the Section and invite anyone with an interest in the planetary sciences to join us. You don't have to be resident in Leicestershire; members are nationwide. Come along to one of our winter or summer, meetings, when you will be made very welcome.
