2026 Pelikan Hub
Pelikan Hub!! Registration opens June 25 on Pelikan's site. We rented out the Peddler's Pub for this fun free annual, global, event. We invite you to join us to celebrate the enduring legacy of the handwritten word.
Whether you are a long-standing regular or joining us for the first time, you are about to embark on a journey dedicated to the tactile beauty of fine writing. We invite you to bring your most cherished instruments and inks, and join an inspiring sanctuary where every pen tells a story.
Our hub will also be providing materials to write a letter to your future self. Next year we will mail it to you a week before the Pelikan hub to reflect on your hopes, memories and wishes and how your year has transpired. Join us to write your next chapter, together with our community of Pelikan enthusiasts.
