Events & book club

Readings, creative nights, and a monthly club that fills the shop with conversation.

Evenings among the shelves

We host author readings, launch nights, and the odd open-mic when the schedule allows. Spaces are limited — tickets for ticketed events are available in store or by emailing us.

Free events are first-come, first-served. Arrive early, browse, and stay for a glass of something soft after.

Once a month, in the shop

Our book club meets on the last Thursday of most months. We pick one title, read at our own pace, and talk over tea. Members get a gentle reminder when the next book is announced.

  • Last Thursday · 6:30 pm (most months)
  • Title announced two weeks ahead
  • Email us to join the reminder list
