RBC's second city, established by a core group of passionate non-fiction fans, is a tight-knit yet vibrant and welcoming community.
As well as diving into our non-fiction book each month, the Bristol Rebel Book Club community is incredibly active; there's often a bonus member-led social on top of the regular RBC events.
You don't have to be the world's fastest reader to get involved; you can still fully participate even if you haven't read the book that month. Come try out our community, meet-ups on the last calendar Tuesday of every month.
Co-host and educator, Laurie brings his passion for community and learning to Rebel Book Club. Since moving to Bristol, he's sought out opportunities to get involved with groups in the city: when he's not reading, you'll find him at the pool swimming, or singing and dancing with his amateur dramatics group.
Biggest RBC impact: “I didn’t know anyone when I moved to Bristol and I was looking for a group to give me a sense of community. I’ve definitely found that at RBC. It’s led me to read books that I wouldn’t have otherwise, and I’ve enjoyed some thought-provoking discussions”
Join up yourself or gift. Choose a membership to fit your learning goals & lifestyle. Go at your pace.
Every month members vote on a hotlist of 3 nonfiction books on a topic. We nudge you weekly to read, listen or watch & join the discussion.*
*You don't have to read a book every month with us.
You will be invited to our monthly in-person & digital events (not another zoom room). Plus rebel coffees, learning goals support & shared interest groups.
