Something Strange Book Club

Monday 5 October 2026 / Monday 2 November 2026

Next Book: Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro

Showroom Cinema is proud to welcome Something Strange book club to the Showroom Cafe for some very special discussion groups inspired by new releases in our programme.

Something Strange is a film adaptation book club which has been running in Sheffield for over a decade. Just like a typical book club, they read a book each month – but they also watch the film. During meetings, both are discussed!

Everyone is welcome and it's free to join, though spaces are limited - so do book in advance.

How does it work: You'll have at least a week to catch the film before the club meet; there is no obligation to attend with others from the group and you can watch and read at your own leisure. If you haven't finished, that's okay – but prepare for spoilers!

Tickets: Your free Book Club ticket entitles you to the discussion group only; book your film ticket separately.

Independent book shops: Sheffield is home to many great independent book shops should you need to buy a copy of the chosen book new. Here's a few to check out:

• Juno Books - Chapel Walk, City Centre [Offering 10% off in store this months pick for Book Club ticket holders]

• La Biblioteka - Leah's Yard, City Centre [Offering 10% off in store this months pick for Book Club ticket holders]

• Rhyme and Reason - Ecclesall Road, Sharrow [Offering 10% off in store this months pick for Book Club ticket holders]
