Events

Events are a huge part of House of Books & Friends and everything we stand for. We want to meet as many of you as possible and most importantly help you meet each other. Whether that’s in person or virtually and in a personal or business context, our aim is to connect people and create a shared and valuable experience.

With this in mind we are creating an exciting events programme for you as we speak. We will have regular features such as children’s story time and meet the author plus special one time only occasions.

Here’s an idea of what to expect:

  • Meet the author
  • Book clubs
  • Music
  • Networking
  • Readings
  • Storytime
  • Author signings
  • Talks with charity partners

If you have an idea for an event please just get in touch with one of our friendly Bookworms!

The Book Club

We believe in the power of reading to alleviate loneliness, so what better way of making that happen than setting up our own book club?

There are a wealth of benefits of joining a reading group: 84% of members feel more connected to other people because of being part of a reading group, according to research from the Reading Agency.

At House of Books & Friends, it is so important to us to create connections within the community, especially through the power of reading.
