Silent Reading Group
Booking is now open for 2026 Silent Reading Group taking place at the Fruitmarket on the last Monday of each month.
Last Monday of the month, 6–8pm. £4 which can be redeemed at the cafe on the night.
The Silent Reading Group events are hosted by Publishing Scotland, in association with UNESCO Edinburgh City of Literature. Enjoy the time and space to read whatever you like in a convivial and welcoming atmosphere alongside other friendly bookworms.
