Having been approached by a new mum who wanted to continue reading books and discussing them, but couldn’t make it to the other book groups because of buggy access issues and timings, New Writing North decided to start a book group for new parents. The first up for discussion is The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer.
The group will meet at The Sage Gateshead, in the sofa area by the café on the concourse, on the third Tuesday of the month, from 1.30pm to 2.30pm. The group is open to anyone who wants to come along with their infant, and the venue has lots of space for buggies. There’s also a good cloakroom if you want to leave the buggy there and carry your baby.
If you’d like to join the group, email readinggroup@newwritingnorth.com and we’ll send you a membership card. You can also get information by searching for ‘New Parents’ Book Group‘ on Facebook.
