Story Café

Immerse yourself in tales and poems from around the world, as we rediscover the joys of being read to. From riotous road trips to luminous landscapes, Story Café will spark your curiosity and freshen your perspective.

Please note that due to our ongoing boiler replacement, we have made the decision to cancel this Story Cafe. We care about the wellbeing of our event attendees and unfortunately the Library is currently too cold for this event to go ahead comfortably. Please join us in the New Year when Story Cafe will begin again.

Story Café, Thursdays 12th September to 10th October, and 31st October to 12th December, 12.30pm to 2.30pm, £2/Free, Women only

It’s great if you’re new to reading, are struggling to find the time to read, or just want to enjoy listening to stories and poems being read aloud. It’s the perfect way to try new types of writing, and a brilliant way to meet new people. We love to see new faces around the table, so why not top up your tea and become part of the story. Packed lunches welcome!

‘So lovely to talk to other people, to sit back and listen to extracts from books. So glad I came!’ – Story Café participant
