Come down to Common Ground for our festive book swap event based on the Polish tradition Mikolajki, a gift exchange held on 6 December.
All you need to bring is a book that you have read and enjoyed and would like to share with someone else. We will provide a festive bag so that it cannot be identified from the outside, and you can swap your book with someone else.
There will be activities, book chats and a chilled out reading zone for you to enjoy on the night. Festive dri...nks and snacks will be provided.
Don't have a book but want to receive one? Don't worry, we'll have some secret books hidden in Common Ground on the night.
Spaces are limited, so please reserve a space or be on time if you want to guarantee a place.
