☕📚 Introducing Folios & Frappuccinos – Shake on the Exe's brand new Shakespeare book club! 📚☕

Love Shakespeare? Curious about the plays but never known where to start? Or just looking for a relaxed evening with great people, great conversation and great coffee?

Join us for the very first Folios & Frappuccinos as we dive into Measure for Measure.

📅 Tuesday 21st July 2026
🕖 7:00pm – 10:00pm

There's no pressure to perform, no need to be a Shakespeare expert, and no auditions – just come along, enjoy a drink, read together, and chat about one of the Bard's most fascinating (and surprisingly relevant!) plays.

Whether you're a lifelong Shakespeare fan or opening a folio for the first time, you'll be made very welcome.

Bring your own copy, or let us know and we can email you one out.

✨ Great books. Good coffee. Great company. All are welcome.

Tag a friend who'd love this, and let us know in the comments if we'll see you there! 👇
