Tyntesfield Book Club

A new Book Club for reading enthusiasts

  • Booking essential
  • Free event (admission applies)

We are proud of our Bookshop at Tyntesfield and we are now running a Book Club.

The Book Club has 12 members and meet once a month on a Tuesday (no meetings in August or December).

So far we have read: Jan - The Beekeeper of Aleppo by Christy Lefteri, Feb - The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah, March - Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro, April - Mansfield Park by Jane Austen, May - Orbital by Samantha Harvey, June - American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins,

We plan to read A Town Called Solace by Mary Lawson in July. Each new book is decided by members of the group.

The group meets in the Cow Barn Café for 2 hours with a break in the middle to get a drink. 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 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.
