The Merton Big Read
The Merton Big Read is a borough-wide reading initiative with the intention of connecting communities through exploring the themes of a book and to foster a love of reading. The Merton Big Read also encompasses a series of relevant, engaging activities such as author talks and workshops.
The Merton Big Read delivered in partnership with Wimbledon BookFest, is one of seven activity strands offered under Merton’s National Portfolio Organisation (funded by Arts Council England).
