About this Event

Join us for a relaxed evening of good conversation, lovely food, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to stay just a little longer.

The evening is designed for connection, laughter, and meeting wonderful women in a space that feels easy and welcoming.

There’ll be a grazing table to nibble from, a welcome drink, plenty of time to chat, a book swap, and a bookmark-making station for anyone who fancies it.

Bring 1-5 gently used books to swap, discover something new, and enjoy good company.

This is an evening to slow down, meet new people, and enjoy a little midweek magic

Spots are limited, and we’d love to have you there.
