Read solo. Chat in small groups. Meet new people. Read in Company is a new kind of social event in Galway, designed for those who enjoy reading and want to connect with others in a laid-back, quiet environment.

It’s a gathering where we invite you to come and read – in the company of others!
At our event, you bring your own book, read in peace, and later engage in dedicated conversation sessions with fellow readers. During these sessions, we’ll share prompts and ideas to inspire some book-related chat.

Whether you’re a regular reader or hoping to rekindle your interest in books, this is a chance to foster that interest and meet new readers along the way.

This event is free of charge and booking is advised, although we will keep a few spots available on the night for walk-ins.

What to Expect:
Quiet solo reading time
Conversation sessions with fellow readers
Book-related conversation prompts
A low-key, cosy environment
A chance to meet new people and share your love for reading
