The Portico Book Meet-up will occur on 22 January 2027 at The Portico Library & Gallery in Manchester. This social evening invites individuals to connect over a shared love of books in a historic cultural space. Attendees can enjoy refreshments and participate in conversations facilitated by prompt cards.
Come and meet new, like-minded people at the Portico, a 200 year old independent library in the centre of Manchester.
Do you like old books? Are you looking for new friends? Love? Something to do? Do you like culture and visiting museums? Want a little bit of a new atmosphere? Tired of using apps to meet new friends and people?
Join us and many others in our unique, historic cultural space. Sip a drink over conversation - we will provide prompt cards for those who would rather use them.
Pay bar will be available upon arrival, with a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic refreshments. You can have a drink under the Regency dome, join in the Portico historic book tour at 6.30pm and relax. It's space to make conversation and meet up in real life, face to face!
House rules:
Be polite and respectful to other people
Be open minded and kind to each other
Come prepare to have a chat or just have a chat over the books we are showing
