SHARED READING GROUPS

We’ve partnered with The Reader to help you find your local shared reading group in Bristol.

Shared Reading is a chance to meet up, read a poem and story together and talk about it. You can

say anything you want to – or sit back, listen and relax. We read widely: classics, modern writers,

medieval poetry and works in translation. There’s something different every week. But you don’t

have to be an avid reader or books expert and there’s no homework – just turn up and find out what

we’re reading this week.

You can try it out at one of these Bristol groups.
