A social book club for women and LGBTQIA people in Chorlton and the surrounding areas.

Chorlton Readers - September Meet-up

Come and join us for our tenth book of 2026 at The Beagle. Open to girls, gays and theys, we meet on the last Wednesday of the month to discuss our chosen book, and to meet some new pals along the way.

Our mission is to foster meaningful conversation, friendship, and a sense of belonging through books. We meet regularly to explore literature that reflects our lives, challenges our thinking, and brings us joy... Most of the time.

Attendees are asked to pay a £5 admission fee. This has been introduced to reduce the number of no-shows.

Follow @chorltonreaders on instagram for more info!

6-8pm.

October's book is... Good People by Patmeena Sabit.

The Sharaf family is the picture of success. They arrived in America as refugees with nothing more than the clothes on their backs. And now, after years of hard work, they live in the most exclusive neighbourhood, their growing family attending the most prestigious schools. Zorah, the eldest daughter, is the apple of her father's eye.

But when Zorah dies in an unthinkable tragedy, the family is thrust into the court of public opinion. There is talk that the Sharafs' happy household was anything but, and soon the veneer of the model immigrant family starts to crumble.

Those who knew her best - and those who never met her - all have an opinion on who Zorah really was, and what really happened to her...

We'll discuss the book and then have some time to socialise afterwards - 15% off pizza/drinks for attendees that order at the bar.
