Cinema Book Club selects the best (and worst!) screen adaptations to watch and discuss in our unique book-to-screen club. Each month we'll pick a different book and film for discussion. Read the book, then join us for the film and a discussion afterwards in the bar. No need to join, just show up on the night and join in.
Everyone is welcome, even if you haven’t read the book!
