Cirencester, Gloucestershire, United Kingdom

Come and join us in beautiful Cirencester on the first Wednesday of each month for a book club evening with a difference.

The first half an hour is an opportunity to buy yourself a drink from the bar, and perhaps order something to eat and have a chance to say hello before we all settle down for an indulgent hour reading our own chosen books in companionable silence. Afterwards, there’s an opportunity to share conversation and socialise with the group or just continue to read. Our own books, our own rules!

Come as yourself and indulge in your own favourite way of reading books, whether that’s a well-thumbed favourite classic, an exciting new bestseller, or even an audiobook that has you captured!

Come and indulge in the ultimate introverts’ happy hour!

Join us on Facebook.

Bath introverts - assemble!

A silent book club is a little bit different to a conventional book club.

Rather than all read the same book in a set time limit to discuss, a silent book club is a meeting of like-minded lovers of reading in which you simply come along with your own book and have a chat/read quietly for a couple of hours.

Hebden Bridge, UK
Having heard about how great they can be we’re starting a silent reading club at The Retreat in Hebden. We close our upstairs space off on a Wednesday afternoon from 1:00 and anyone is welcome to come along and talk/socialise for the first 30 minutes. Then, from 1:30 onwards would be reading in silence for an hour. After that there’s the option to stay and chat, leave or stay and read for as long as you would like. It’s a great way for introverts to be around other people without the pressure of talking to strangers, plus it’s really nice to have a reading space and dedicate some time to yourself.

All you need to do is bring your own book or magazine and just enjoy the calm space.

1:00-1:30pm - People arrive, order drinks/food, share what they're reading
1:30-2:30pm - Quiet reading hour
2:30-5:00pm - Optional socialising, or just keep reading, leave when you’re ready
