What we’re about
The Edinburgh Gay Men's Book Group has been meeting monthly since 2009, and is for gay, bi, trans men and queer identifying men. The group meets the fourth Wednesday of each month at 7pm either in-person or via Zoom and is one of the Edinburgh LGBT Centre for Health and Wellbeing Community Groups. We discuss one book each month and further information of our future book choices are available on our web-page https://edgaybookgroup.wordpress.com. We also have occasional visits from authors who will join us for part of the meeting.
As well as meeting monthly we have regular in-person social events which include meals, walks, and trips to the cinema / theatre.
