Penistone Camera Club was established in 1967 by a group of people who had the same interest....Photography.

Since then the club has gone from strength to strength, with a ever growing membership. The club meets at 7.30pm every Thursday Evening at the Wentworth Arms, which is situated about 500 yards out of Penistone on the Sheffield road. Everybody who turns up at our meetings receive a warm and friendly greeting.

There are always varied activities going on each week (click on the diary link). We have a purpose built darkroom, various studio lights and props also digital equipment (including computer, digital projector, camera and A3 printer).

Tthere is no need for you to possess a camera to join as the club has a spare camera which new members can try out to gain experience, while they decide to purchase one of their own. It does not matter what type of photography people want to do i.e. traditional, digital, portrait, landscape, natural history or still life as there is always someone on hand to give guidance where necessary.

Also the club runs competitions within the club and with other clubs as well. The club has outings to various places of interest as well as guest lecturers to give talks on various subjects.

People can come and look at us and see what we do for 4 weeks and we don't charge them anything and after that then a charge of two pounds a week is made along with the yearly subscription of fifteen pounds, what other entertainment could you get for that.

So come along and join us
