Join us for a slow, soulful Sunday by the river as we Read by the River—an easygoing book social for all readers.

No schedules, no fees—just bring your favorite book (physical, e-reader, kindle, or headphones and audio book), a picnic blanket or camp chair, and enjoy a peaceful day reading on our scenic riverside grounds. Grab a coffee or cold drink from our restaurant, settle under a tree or by the water, grab a table on our river-front deck and get lost in the pages of your book.

📚 BOOK SWAP: We’ll have a casual “Take a Book, Leave a Book” swap table, so bring a book or two you’ve finished and find something new to read.

🌿 Socialise with other readers if you like or just get absorbed in the adventure between your pages.

☕ Food & Drink:
Enjoy our food menu, coffee & cocktail bar (licensed premises)

🧺 All ages welcome. Dogs on leads welcome. No outside food or drink, please.

Let’s turn pages together, riverside.
