Our Mission
To help make Leamington an even better place to live, work and visit by protecting and enhancing its heritage, built environment and green spaces, while supporting thoughtful and sustainable change.
Who are we?
The Leamington Society is an independent registered charity and civic society working to protect, celebrate and improve our town.
We take an active interest in planning, heritage, public spaces and the wider environment, representing local concerns and encouraging high standards of design and stewardship. We work constructively with residents, community groups, businesses and public bodies, while keeping our members informed about issues affecting Leamington.
Through our advocacy, events, publications, awards and practical projects, we aim both to safeguard what makes Leamington special and to support positive change for the future.
Celebrating 70 years
The Leamington Society has been caring for our town since 1956.
For 70 years, the Society has worked to protect Leamington’s heritage, champion good design, support its green spaces and encourage positive change.
As we celebrate this milestone in 2026, we continue to look forward — helping to ensure that Leamington remains a distinctive, attractive and enjoyable place for future generations.
