What we do

Evening book group who meet every second Tuesday of the month 8-9pm.

We’re an informal book club that meets every second Tuesday at Canton Library and afterwards for a drink at Chapter Arts Centre in Canton, Cardiff.

Further details can be found at https://cardiffread.co.uk/ (independent group, non Library-led).

Who do we support

We’re a mixed bunch of twenty to seventy somethings, of all backgrounds, races and nationalities. We have no rules on who attends. Usually, between 20 to 30 come along to the meetups.

We’re proactively against picking books on a theme, genre or trend. As you’ll see from our back catalogue, we’ve read everything from fiction to poetry, graphic novels to biographies, short stories to trashy page turners.

Steve and Laura choose the books based on the need to keep things interesting and to have a good variety. Our favourite sentence is, “I would never have read this if it wasn’t for book club, but I’m so glad I did“. We do take recommendations too though!

This service is for people aged 18+.
