Reading Cafes provide an opportunity for readers to get together and discuss various topics connected to reading. They are very informal. There's no need to book and you don’t have to read anything in advance. Tea and coffee are available for a small charge.
There's no need to book. Just drop in to discuss a new theme every session.
