Looking to meet new people in a relaxed setting? Head to House of Books & Friends for Coffee & Connections, a friendly weekly meet-up designed to bring people together over good conversation and a hot drink.

Each session starts with a short ice-breaker before everyone adds their favourite topic to the “Chatty Hat”. Three topics are picked at random and discussed in small groups. No expertise needed, just curiosity and a willingness to chat. Sessions run every Friday from 11am–12pm and are open to over 18s.

Tickets require a £4 deposit, refunded when you attend, and include a free hot drink. Complimentary tickets are available for anyone who needs one.
