Can I come on my own?

Yes absolutely!! Come along and meet like-minded book lovers for an afternoon of literary fun! Many people come to our The Book Club events on their own and are welcomed immediately.

What do I need to bring?

Please bring a preloved book to swap. Please wrap the book and write why you loved it on the paper! Because who doesn't love a blind date with a book!

Is food and drink available?

The Risq bar venue is open with full food & bar menu available to purchase.

Do I have to read the book?

We understand that life often gets in the way of a good read. So please still come along and join in the fun on the day! Every Book Club will have more than one member that hasn't read the book.

April's’s Book Choice: This Book Made Me Think of You by Libby Page.

Twelve stories. Twelve months. One chance to heal her heart...

When Tilly Nightingale receives a call telling her there’s a birthday gift from her husband waiting for her at her local bookshop, it couldn’t come as more of a shock. Partly, because she can’t remember the last time she read a book for pleasure. Mainly, because Joe died five months ago…

The gift is simple – twelve carefully chosen books from Joe, one for each month, to help her turn the page on her first year without him.Here’s what to expect :

Ice Breaker Activity – grab a drink & get to know each other from 12 midday.
Book Discussion - engaging & thoughtful insights to this month's read!
Door prize – will you take home a copy of next month's book choice?
Blind Date With a Book – bring along a wrapped, pre-loved book to swap.
Book inspired activities & a quiz - join in the fun and see who takes home a prize!
