A room full of strangers, all reading together. That’s a Reading Rave.

The quietest rave in town. Every second Sunday of the month we gather in the same room, each with a different book, to read together. We say hello, we read, we talk. You go home with some proper me-time, a chapter read and a few new names in your phone.
What to expect
Bring whatever you’re reading, grab a coffee and settle in. Say hello to the person next to you, phones go face down, and we read together for two hours. Novel, poetry, magazine, study book, audiobook: all reading counts.
When we close our books, we talk. Not about summarising your chapter, but the kind of conversation that only happens when there are so many different books on one table. After that we’re officially done, but nobody’s rushing you out. Keep reading, keep talking, stay as long as you like. You might even catch a book club starting up their offline event called the Book Review. Perfect for a sneak peak of what you might join next.
Come alone, most people do. But feel free to get your friends a ticket as well. We’re happy to match you with members who share your interests or are in the same book club as you, just let us know when we check you in.
Good to know
Club member tickets are for everyone in our WhatsApp community who has joined one of our events before. First time with us? Pick the First timer ticket.
To keep it as inclusive as possible, this is a non-alcoholic event. The coffee, matcha, and ginger tea here are so good, you won’t even miss it.
No refunds, but until 48 hours before the event you can pass your seat to a friend or move it to next month. Just email info@herhalfreadbookclub.com.
See you there, lovely!
Media notice: we sometimes take photos and videos in the room for our socials. Prefer not to be in them? Just let us know when you arrive.
