Monthly Fridays 1-2pm

Do you have a passion for reading? Then why not join us every month, when we come together in reading and reviewing a wide selection of books. Our friendly sessions are the perfect way to meet like-minded readers and discover exciting new reads. We explore short stories, novels, non-fiction, poetry, and best sellers.

Friday 25th April – Orbital – Samantha Harvey. In Orbital, Samantha Harvey weaves a tale of memory, space, and connection. Set in a near-future world of ecological uncertainty, the novel centres on the lives of four individuals whose paths intertwine aboard an orbital space station. Harvey's lyrical prose and insightful storytelling create an evocative meditation on humanity and the fragility of our shared existence.

Friday 30th May – In Memoriam – Alice Winn. Alice Winn's In Memoriam is a poignant experience of two young men, friends-turned-lovers, the novel explores the horrors of war, the enduring power of love, and the sacrifices made in pursuit of a fragile sense of hope and freedom.

Friday 20th June – Down and Out in Paris and London – George Orwell. George Orwell's vivid memoir, Down and Out in Paris and London, offers an unflinching look at poverty and survival in two great cities. Drawing from his own experiences, Orwell provides a rich tapestry of characters and struggles, blending social commentary with personal insight in this timeless exploration of class and inequality.
