We will read, reflect and feel inspired together. Shared Reading is for everyone, whether you love books or have never read before. Come for a friendly chat and to hear brilliant texts read out loud - no pressure to read aloud, and no need to prepare anything – just turn up. We will provide reading materials on the day:
