The Book Club - Bolton
đ Find Your Book-Loving Tribe in Bolton
At Chapter 25, we believe that books bring people together. Our monthly Bolton meet-ups arenât just about great reads â theyâre about laughter, genuine connection, and making new friends who love books just as much as you do.
Whether youâre new to Bolton, looking to expand your social circle, or simply want to carve out some dedicated "me-time," youâll find a warm, judgement-free community waiting to welcome you with open arms.

đđ» Walking Through the Door: What to Expect
We know that walking into a new group can feel a little daunting, but weâve got you. Every Chapter 25 meet-up is led by a friendly local host whose main job is to make sure you feel welcome.
Once you have signed up, you will be given access to our Bolton WhatsApp group, where your host will keep you updated on any last-minute changes to arrangements.
When you arrive, just look out for the group of book lovers! Your host will be keeping an eye out for fresh faces, ready to greet you, introduce you to the group, and help you settle right in. Youâre in safe hands! If the group is not immediately obvious, just ask one of the venueâs staff members, and they will direct you to the right area.
