Jade (Gloucester)

Seeking a book club

I'm 21 and I've recently moved to Gloucester and I'd like to join a book club to meet like-minded people and make friends! I like nature-writing, fiction, essays, and classics. My favourite classics is The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë, and my favourite book that I've read so far in 2026 is Fair, the Life Art of Translation :) One of my favourite book is Foster by Claire Keegan 😄

TimmyKibz (Cheltenham)

Seeking a gaming group

I'm 35, female, based in central Cheltenham. I've only done one D&D campaign about ten years ago, absolutely it but the DM moved away and group fell apart. Really keen to relearn the game and would love to learn to DM, create campaigns etc. Happy to join a new, or more established group, who play in person weekly or bi-weekly. A mixed ability group would be amazing if possible, but people up for a laugh, with a relaxed and friendly vibe would be perfection. I've played lots of MTG over the years and would be up for playing again and/or learning new games too.

Small Things Like These

Amelia (Cheltenham)

Seeking a book club

I’m 22 and based in Cheltenham. I enjoy getting lost in a good story, particularly classics, romance and anything with interesting characters and complicated relationships. I’m currently making my way through more of the classics and have been enjoying Jane Austen, Waugh and Maugham. I’m looking for a friendly book club where I can read more consistently, discover books I wouldn’t necessarily pick myself, and have some interesting conversations along the way, ideally with a lovely social side to it too!

Crooked Elf (Cirencester)

Seeking a gaming group

I have played dnd since I was 8 years old. Play 5th edition. Listened to countless hours of dnd podcasts so can fit in easily to any table. Will do role play and love to try and do accents (for better or worse hahah) Very easy going and want to find a long term campaign I can be apart of :D

Rosekattan (Cheltenham)

Seeking a book club

Hi, I love books, and recently been lookign for a good book, and since I love judging I would love to meet other people who are the same.

Melanie (Cirencester)

Seeking a book club

I’m looking to join a book club, or perhaps even start a new one, around Fairford, Lechlade or the surrounding villages and happy to drive to Cirencester. I’d like to join or start a friendly, sociable group where we can meet new people, have a good chat and, of course, talk about books! My reading tastes are quite varied. I enjoy writers such as John le Carré and Mick Herron, and I’ve recently been working my way through the Slough House books. I also enjoy Andrea Camilleri’s Inspector Montalbano novels. I have a real love of classic English literature too, as well as poetry, and my tastes range quite widely – from Brideshead Revisited to Dracula and plenty in between. I’m also very happy to try books I might never have chosen for myself, which is part of what appeals to me about a book club. If anyone nearby is also looking for a friendly, relaxed and sociable book club, it would be lovely to hear from you.

Barnaby (Stroud)

Flesh

hazymagick (Cheltenham)

Seeking a gaming group

Hey! I've been playing for the last 6 years. A mix of short campaigns and one long (2 years) mostly with d&d 2024 and homebrews based on that system. Mostly online and a few in person. Would really like to find an in person game on a weeknight (ideally a Monday or Wednesday) happy to do weekly or biweekly. I'm based in the middle of Cheltenham, Gloucester and Stroud, so would happily drive to any of those locations and surrounds. If you have a space in a campaign (either new or old) I'd love to join in! Thanks ☺️

Imtisal (Gloucester)

Seeking a book club

We're building something Gloucester doesn't really have yet. A book club that's about more than just finishing a book. A place to meet people (16+) , discover new genres, share ideas, and youth who wants to build genuine friendships. Over time, the plan is to create different book clubs and events for every kind of reader—from fantasy and romance to thrillers, classics, manga, non-fiction and more. We are a startup so right now we're looking for the first people who want to help shape the community from the ground up. If you've ever wished it was easier to meet like-minded people in Gloucester, spend less time scrolling, and more time doing something meaningful, we'd love to hear from you. Contact me for details.

Silent Patient

by ALEX MICHAELIDES | Learn more and buy

"...we often mistake love for fireworks—for drama and dysfunction. But real love is very quiet, very still." Lesson learnt!

Levi (Gloucester)

Seeking a book club

I’m 18 living in Gloucester and I love reading. I want to be able to share my thoughts and rant about the plot line and what I loved. I love fantasy, action and heartfelt history books along with manhwa and manga mostly isakai and regression which is fun but I’m open to more genres

Flowers for Algernon

by Daniel Keyes | Learn more and buy

It starts off with a story about Charlie Gordon who was born with a low IQ and is chosen to be a test subject for an experiment to raise IQ with it first being tested on a lab mouse, Algernon. Through the book we get to see him grow and change as he learns the world is crueler than he thought. He has a drive to learn and be better and it leads him to be smarter than even the scientists that put him though the experiment but at some point Algernon starts to deteriorate and the question is weather his will also happen to Charlie.
