The Reader

Join the Reading Revolution

The Reader is a national charity that uses the power of literature and reading aloud to transform lives.

From their global Shared Reading movement and social enterprises, through to the events and activities on offer at Calderstones Park, their work improves wellbeing, reduces loneliness and helps us find new meaning in our lives. ​

The Reader at Calderstones is a place unlike any other, where everyone is welcome and anyone can go to experience literature, and find and share meaning. 

There’s a daily programme of activities and reading groups at the Mansion House, storytelling adventures at the Storybarn, food to nourish you in the Cafe and ice cream to suit all tastes in the Ice Cream Parlour.

If you have any additional needs, or questions please get in touch with The Reader by email or phone 0151 729 2200
