How to Register for The Wodehouse Society’s 2026 Convention

Registration for The Wodehouse Society’s 2026 convention, Sitting Pretty in Garden City, is open now. To register, go to the convention event page on wodehouse.org, where the society says you will find full details and the link to sign up. The convention is the society’s biennial celebration, and the 2026 gathering is scheduled for November 2026.

What the 2026 Convention Is

The Wodehouse Society describes its conventions as a “rollicking celebratory tradition not to be missed.” The 2026 edition, Sitting Pretty in Garden City, is framed by the society as “a binge to stagger humanity”—a characteristically Wodehousian way of saying it is a large, festive gathering of fans.

The convention is a biennial event, so it does not take place every year. That makes the 2026 dates the main opportunity to attend in person until the next convention cycle.

How to Register: Step by Step

1. Go to wodehouse.org. The homepage carries the announcement “Convention Registration Open!” dated January 15, 2026.
2. Open the convention event page. The announcement directs readers to “our convention event page for full details and the link to register.” Use the convention link on the site rather than trying to register from the homepage announcement alone.
3. Read the full details on that page. The event page is where the society has placed the practical information for the convention.
4. Follow the registration link on the event page. This is the sign-up route the society provides; the homepage does not itself contain the registration form.
5. Complete registration and keep your confirmation. The site does not publish the registration form’s fields or the confirmation process, so treat whatever the event page shows as the authoritative steps.

What to Check Before You Register

• Dates and location details: Confirm them on the event page. The homepage announcement gives the month (November 2026) and the convention title, but the event page is where full details live.
• Cost and payment: The available site material does not list convention prices or payment methods. Check the event page for any fees and payment instructions before assuming a cost or a free place.
• Membership: The society invites readers to “consider joining us to support our mission,” but the homepage excerpt does not state that membership is required to register. Verify any member/non-member terms on the event page.
• Travel and lodging: The site does not publish convention travel or hotel information in the material available here. Look for it on the event page or ask the society directly.

If You Are New to Wodehouse

The convention is aimed at fans, and the society stresses that most of its members “are simply fans—in it for the laughs, sweetness, and light.” If you have not read Wodehouse yet, the site suggests starting with a broad browse of his world and the Resources page before joining. That is useful preparation, not a prerequisite for registering.

Other Ways to Get Involved

If the convention timing does not work for you, the society lists other ways to participate:

• Local chapters: Join one for “fun and camaraderie.”
• Plum Lines: Contribute to the society’s quarterly journal.
• Website blog: Write for the blog.
• Events: Watch for announcements such as Hal Cazalet’s Play on Words, a show by Wodehouse’s great-grandson that the society has featured.

Quick Reference

The single reliable next step is the convention event page: it is where the society says the full details and the registration link are kept.
