Hay Reads Book Club

Hay Reads Book Club edges away from the usual convention of only inviting readers to discuss a single book to opening up our evenings to a more general celebration of our shared love of storytelling. At our third meeting of Hay Reads 2026 we’ll be talking about Rebecca West. Please ask in the bookshop for input and recommendations.
