Silent Book Club in Exeter happens twice a month at Topsham Brewery — on the first Wednesday and third Monday of every month — and on the last Thursday of the month at 12 Bar Music & Social.
Come along and join an ever growing community of readers!
A typical Silent Book Club session spans from 6pm-8pm.
Attendees arrive and settle in between 6pm-6:30pm. We begin reading and at 7.30pm we stick around for post-reading debriefs, chats, and a drink (though there's no pressure!).
If you would like to attend and would benefit from a book token to purchase a new book to read at Silent Book Club, please fill out the form on the Silent Book Club page of our website, and we'd be happy to help. Please note we only have a limited number of book tokens available.
Accessibility Statement: Yes, 12 Bar Music and Social is fully accessible. We're committed to ensuring everyone can enjoy our space comfortably. If you need any assistance during your visit, our staff will be more than happy to help.
The closest parking option to 12 Bar Music and Social is the Bampfylde Street Car Park, just a short walk away. You can also find convenient parking at Princesshay Car Park, Harlequins Car Park, and the Triangle Car Park
