About this Event
When was the last time you read without distractions?
No notifications.
No scrolling.
No pressure to talk.
Just a quiet room, gentle music, a good book, and two hours that belong entirely to you.
To celebrate World Book Night, The Switch Off is hosting a silent reading session designed to give you the rare luxury of uninterrupted time with a book.
At the start of the evening, guests hand over their phones and settle into a calm, shared space. Everyone reads their own book, at their own pace, in silence - surrounded by others doing the same.
It’s not a book club.
There’s no discussion, no expectations, and nothing to prepare.
Just dedicated time and space to read.
You’ll also enjoy:
🍷 A glass of wine or herbal tea
🧀 A delicious grazing box
🎶 Soft background music to create a calm atmosphere
At the end of the session, you're welcome to stay and chat with others - or quietly head home. You do you.
These evenings are for anyone who:
• struggles to find time to read
• wants a break from constant notifications
• enjoys quiet company without social pressure
• needs space to slow down and reset
Sometimes the only way to make space for yourself… is to schedule it.
Come switch off with us. :)
