The Reading Retreat, drop-in Shared Reading Groups for Adults

The Reading Retreat is an exciting new shared reading project in which small groups meet weekly to discuss a piece of writing that is read aloud by the volunteer Reader Leader at the start of the session.

The reading may be an article, book extract, short story or poem. There is no reading to do beforehand, so you can just arrive at a session and join in the discussion or listen to others discussing, as you wish. Sessions are free and held weekly but you don't have to attend every week as each session is separate. Everyone is welcome to come along and give it a try!

Sessions currently run as follows:

Mondays at Kingston Library, 11am - 12 noon

Tuesdays at Alfriston Day Centre in Surbiton, 10.30-11.30am

Wednesdays at The Bradbury Active Age Centre, 10.30-11.30am (open to all members of The Bradbury - please call 020 8942 8256 to enquire)
