Cultural and social life of the town inhabitants is influenced actively by the Cultural Centre. The Municipal Museum, which was founded in 1905, with its seat at the Lanškroun château issues several publications every year, prepares short-term expositions regularly and manages the following permanent expositions: History of the Town of Lanškroun, Cabinet of coins and medals of Zdeněk Kolářský, a painter, Glass-making on the Bohemian-Moravian border, and the Commemorative Chamber of Jindřich Praveček, a native of nearby Výprachtice. The Municipal Library in Alois Jirásek Square owns tens of thousands of titles, Lanškroun Cinema with its capacity of nearly 300 seats shows every day all the year round. The information centre in J. M. Marků Square not only provides information services about the town and region but also participates in preparation and processing of touristic infrastructure or prepares information and presentation materials (Information Yearbook, Monthly Event Calendar). Listy Lanškrounska, a voluminous biweekly which is extended by a full-coloured supplement five times a year, captures life in the town and region.
Civic society wins recognition in Lanškroun. Many cultural, sports and social organizations and civic associations are active here. With their number and activities, orchestras and ensembles (more than 20 ensembles and groups) are important in particular; there are three companies of amateur actors. Also important are the work and results of sports clubs (more than 30), in particular in cycle racing, ice hockey, volleyball, football and hiking. Every year, on the second Saturday in September, the members of the hiking club organize Lanškrounská Kopa, a mass hiking walk of more than forty years tradition (5 to 100 km), which is connected with an autumn town festival.
