We have been fans of The Portobello Bookshop long before opening S&G Porty, so we are delighted we are collaborating with them with our Bookclub.
Alongside Portobello Books we will be bringing you a series of brilliant reads, beautiful wines and seasonal cheese hosted in Smith & Gertrude Portobello once a month.
The Wine & Cheese Book Club will be hosted in our back room space in Portobello by Jenna & Lily from Portobello Books.
The cost of your ticket includes the following:
- A copy of that months quite brilliant book club book (please collect from Portobello Books as soon as you have booked)
- A glass of wine (or soft drink) on arrival to help get the conversation started
- Cheese. Lots of cheese to keep the discussion flowing
For October we have selected Biography of X by Catherine Lacey
When X - the iconoclastic artist, musician and writer - dies suddenly, CM, her widow, hurls herself into writing a biography of the woman she deified. The story will lead her deep into the Southern Territory - a fascist theocracy that split from the rest of the USA after World War II - before revealing the full weight of X's secrets, and the depth of her betrayal.
Please note:
- Unfortunately we can not offer any refunds on book club tickets
- As the Book Club is extremely popular we are limiting the group size to 12 and we are also limiting ticket sales to 2 per person please. Thank you.
