Welcome to Pickwicks English Club!


Pickwicks is a social club, founded in 1976 by Brits and Americans living and working in the Frankfurt area. It is open to anyone who speaks a good level of English.

If you would like to receive the latest news about our changing venues and upcoming events, please sign up to our mailing list.

Pickwicks, as a “Social Club” who used to organise weekly Stammtisch meetings as well as a variety of activities every weekend for years, was severely affected by the Covid pandemic and its countermeasures, which brought the Club’s actions to a practical standstill from about March 2020 onwards. At the same time the organising Committee shrunk dramatically and its remaining few members found it quite tiresome to organise activities while observing the Covid regulations.

At the latest Annual General Meeting in March 2023 a new committee was elected, and while the club is not intending to return to its former scope of weekly activities, there will be regular Stammtisch meetings in Frankfurt am Main every Wednesday from 7 p.m. at alternating venues which are announced via our mailing list system and on our Programme page – as well as an increasing number of additional activities (cinema, theatre, museum visits and more).

Pickwicks Oberursel, our Hochtaunus branch, meets every Tuesday at ‘Mac Gowan’s Irish Pub’.
