Hi!

We’re Mollie and Jodie, the faces behind The Story Social.

The Story Social began as a book club, bringing women together to read great fiction, chat over a cuppa and cake, and make new friends. We’ve since expanded into hosting workshops and events with creativity at their core.

We originally met at a creative event that we’d both attended alone. We know the power that these spaces hold for women: a safe place to get creative, prioritise self care, and find other like-minded spirits to connect with.

What We Do

  • If, like us, you’re looking for good books to read, interesting chats and fun monthly meet-ups (plus a little bit of healthy accountability along the way to nudge you into reading more), you’re in the right place.

    Whether you’re a seasoned reader who whips through a new book every week, or a skim reader who just wants to meet new people and indulge in some self-care time, the Story Social is for you.

    Hosted every month in Nottingham, we post all the latest book club updates on Substack and Instagram.

  • We're all about encouraging women to chat, connect, meet new people and be inspired by new things - which is why we love curating and hosting creative community events.

    From picnics and hikes to chocolate making and painting, nothing brings us more joy than creativity and connection. Head over to Events to find out what's coming up next.

  • Armed with years of experience in hosting, teaching, marketing and content, we love to create inspiring spaces and lead community events.

    If you're interested in a book club for your business or a corporate creative team-building event, we'd love to curate, plan and host this for you. Drop us a message to enquire and find out more.
