Do you love the idea of a book club, but prefer to read at your own pace? Then why not join us and our Silent Book Club at Y Siop Fach Sero (The Old Library) for a dedicated weekly reading session. Meet at our cosy community space for a peaceful gathering where you can bring any book, settle in, and enjoy reading in quiet company. The coffee shop sells drinks, cakes and snacks — but no obligation to purchase anything.

There are no assigned texts, no pressure of deadlines, just one hour to focus on your own reading without interruptions. Our meetups start with a relaxed 30 minutes to arrive and order drinks, followed by an hour of silent reading. For the final 30 minutes, you are welcome to chat, discuss, or share book recommendations, or just keep reading! Carve out the time for yourself to unwind and rediscover the joy of getting lost in a good book! Find more information and our upcoming meetings here.
