Belgrade Book Club: The War of The Worlds

by HG Wells

Wed 18 Mar 2026

Calling all bookworms and story lovers!

We’d love you to join us for the Belgrade Book Club where we’ll be reading HG Wells’s The War of The Worlds ahead of imitating the dog’s thrilling, audacious and timely retelling of this classic story, which comes to the Belgrade from Wed 18 – Sat 21 Mar.

We’re inviting the bookworms of Coventry and beyond to gather together at the Belgrade to read, chat, and meet like-minded, reading enthusiasts. Reading stories from a list based on our theatre programme, you’ll have the chance to discover the characters, their journeys, and their adventures before seeing them brought to life on our stages.

How to join the Belgrade Book Club:

  1. Book your space via the View Times and Book button at the top of this page – it’s completely FREE!
  2. Now it’s time to get reading HG Wells’s The War of The Worlds
  3. Join us on Wed 18 Mar, 6pm – 7:15pm to discuss the book
  4. Book your ticket to see the incredible stage adaptation of the novel which is on our B1 stage at 7:30pm after the Book Club meeting. (Not required but recommended!).

As there are limited spaces to join the Belgrade Book Club, please do let us know in advance if you are unable to attend so we can make a space available for somebody else.

The Belgrade Book Club will take place in our ground floor No. 71 space (accessed via the Belgrade Cafe) and will be hosted by our very own Belgrade bookworm and Programme Coordinator, Emma Worrall.
