Litterära Sällskap

Nynäshamns Litterära Sällskap is a literary society dedicated to making literature and local cultural history accessible in the Nynäshamn area. With the motto “A place for literature,” it brings members and the wider community together through talks, presentations, discussions, performances and guided historical walks. Its programme has featured writers, journalists, researchers, photographers and local historians, with subjects ranging from notable authors such as Moa Martinson, Harry Martinson and Ivar Lo-Johansson to the people, places and stories of the surrounding community.

Events are held at venues including Konstpoolen and may combine lectures with music, singing, photographs or refreshments. The society also organises annual meetings, shares recordings and information about past activities, and awards scholarships in Swedish to ninth-grade students at local schools. People interested in literature and regional heritage can learn about the society’s purpose, history, board and membership, and find details of upcoming events through its website. By connecting literary topics with local stories and shared experiences, Nynäshamns Litterära Sällskap offers an engaging cultural programme for members and visitors alike.
