Are you curious about stories, enjoy thoughtful conversation, or simply looking for a new way to unwind each week?
Join our free four-week Reading Round in partnership with the Royal Literary Fund and explore the joy of reading in a relaxed and welcoming space.
Led by a professional writer from the Royal Literary Fund, each session offers the chance to explore short stories and poems, with no prep, pressure, or previous experience needed.
Whether you’re a confident reader or haven’t picked up a book in years, this group is for you.
All reading levels are welcome. The writer will read all materials aloud, so everyone can fully take part, whether you're following along quietly or sharing your reflections.
It’s a great way to boost your confidence, spark your imagination, and connect with others through powerful storytelling and thoughtful discussion.
About the programme
Located in Penge, Reading Round begins on Tuesday 8 July and runs every Tuesday from 11am–12:30pm for four weeks.
To get the most out of the experience, we kindly ask that participants commit to attending all four sessions.
