Monday 16th June
3pm-7pm, The Pantry at 51, Prestwood High Street
All Readers Welcome – £5 Entry (includes first drink free)
Take a moment for yourself in good company. Join us for a relaxing afternoon of quiet reading, good coffee, and gentle connection at our Silent Book Club. Whether you’re deep into a novel, flipping through poetry, or catching up on non-fiction, bring your book and settle in.
What is a Silent Book Club?
Unlike traditional book clubs, there’s no required reading. Just show up with your book and read in companionable silence. Stay for the whole event or drop in/leave during the break — no pressure, just pages.
The Pantry at 51 will be open exclusively for our event, creating a calm, welcoming space just for the Silent Reading Bookclub.
