Eastbourne Silent Book Club's August (Friday) session - read together with your local bookish community.

Welcome to the Eastbourne chapter of Silent Book Club. We host free monthly events where readers come together as a community to read in companionable silence, in the peaceful surroundings of the local bookshop. Everyone is welcome, and our events are free.

There are no set readings at Silent Book Club: you just bring whatever book you would like to read. All genre readers are welcome, as is any format of book including e-readers. Just don't forget your headphones if you'll be bringing an audiobook!

Spaces are limited to thirty readers, so please reserve your spot as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. If our session is fully booked, we can add you to a waitlist and offer you a place at the next meeting.

To reserve your spot, please book a free ticket via Eventbrite. If you book a ticket but can no longer attend, please let us know as soon as possible so your spot can be allocated to somebody else. If you have any trouble booking a ticket, please contact us via email eastbournesbc@gmail.com or on Instagram @EastbourneSBC so that we can assist you.

Please note: if you want to chat, need to check your phone or take a call during the designated silent hour, please step outside to avoid disturbing readers. The shop is accessible, but does not have an accessible toilet, it is reached by a large flight of stairs. We are unable to provide refreshments.

If you have any questions you can contact Eastbourne SBC via email at eastbournesbc@waterstones.com or via Instagram @EastbourneSBC.
