Read with Julia at Ledbury Library
📍 Ledbury Library, The Master’s House, Bye St, Ledbury HR8 1EA
Read aloud, Ledbury!
Have you heard about the ✨FREE✨ ‘Read Aloud, Ledbury’ group?
We meet at Ledbury Library every Friday from 11:30 am – 12:45 pm (to fit in with the 476 Ledbury-Hereford bus service).
The group is for adults of all ages to enjoy sharing a collection of poems and a short story, selected by Diane or Julia (the Reader Leaders).
Everyone is welcome and there’s no pressure to read aloud.
(Friday 20th June 2025)
“Our reading group is a Friday afternoon pleasure.
The diversity of poetry and stories is interesting and mentally stimulating.
You can listen to the reading and relax.”
(A review from a group member)
Take off anxiety,
Take off stress,
Take off pressure,
Relax into reading,
Bond through books.
(Summer, 2003)
