Depot’s Book to Film Club is a relaxed and open space to talk about books and movies. With classics, horror, and sci-fi on the shelf, there’s something for everyone to get their reading glasses on for.

Each month there will be a screening of a different film based on a book followed by a guided, friendly and informal discussion led by bibliophile and cinephile, Rory. You don’t need to be a professor in literature or Mark Kermode, you just need a free morning once a month to have an easy going chat about books and films over a nice cup of tea! All are welcome.
