The Tall Persons Club GB & Ireland is an independent non-profit organisation, founded in 1991, with the aim of "providing information for and promoting the interests of tall people". These aims cover the practical, medical, psychological and social aspects of being taller than average.

Who Should Join?
Membership is for those who consider themselves taller than average. You decide. We have no minimum height requirement because we believe that people know for themselves whether they are tall or not. With each generation growing taller our members are drawn from every age group and walk of life. We welcome all who will benefit from our information and who wish to support the promotion of matters of importance to those taller than average.

The Club aims to have regular contact with commercial, medical, regulatory and other organisations with whom we raise the awareness of the specific needs of tall people.

The Club welcomes individuals and families -- tall children are after all the next generation of members.

The Club is a company limited by guarantee run for the benefit of its members. After one year, members are automatically granted voting rights. A great opportunity to have your voice heard in the issues that affect the TPC.

What Are The Benefits?


  • The regular Club magazine "6ft+" contains a wealth of information on tall life and tall matters and gives members an opportunity to air their views. All members receive four magazines a year as part of their membership benefits.
  • club magazines membership card
  • The Club publishes a Supplier Directory that lists hundreds of companies meeting the needs of those taller than average -- clothing, footwear, furniture, etc. By using the information provided members will save their membership fee with interest.
  • And on top of that the Club has negotiated discounts with a number of tall retailers, including some big names, on production of your membership card.
  • The Club website is a rich source of information and up-to-the-minute news. The Bulletin Board System (BBS) offers the facility to comment and exchange views with other members.
  • As is the case with most tall clubs around the world, we hold many social events, which members of other tall clubs are welcome to attend. Likewise, we enjoy taking part in overseas tall club events such as the European convention ("Europatreffen") which is held in a different European city each year and the North American tall clubs convention, held in a different North American city each year.
  • The Tall Persons Club GB & Ireland has forged links with other tall clubs across Europe and North America. These links are a great source of information and friendship.

Some Club statistics:
  • over 1000 members
  • average female height: 6'1"
  • average male height: 6'6"
  • members aged 16-80
  • average member age: 42
