Tyntesfield book club (sorry, group full)

A new book club for reading enthusiasts.

  • Booking essential
  • Free event (admission applies)

Tyntesfield's Buzzard Books is now running a monthly book club.

The club has 12 members, who meet once a month on a Tuesday (no meetings in August or December).

Each new book is decided by members of the group. We've previous read books like Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro, Mansfield Park by Jane Austen and Orbital by Samantha Harvey.

The group meets in the Cow Barn Café for two hours with a refreshment break in the middle. Two of our friendly bookshop volunteers will be running the meetings.

There is no criteria to joining other than an enthusiasm for reading, the willingness to try books that might differ from your usual choice and being ready to join in with a discussion about them.

There is no weekly charge, although a £10 donation once a year would be appreciated and will go towards the upkeep of Tyntesfield estate.
