Queer Singles & Friends Night at The Haunted Bookshop

Join us at The Haunted Bookshop for a cosy, low-pressure Queer Singles Night for book lovers with a taste for the strange and uncanny.

This event is designed for queer people who love books, especially occult, horror, fantasy, and gothic fiction, and who want a relaxed way to meet potential partners or simply make new friends. There’s no speed dating, no awkward games — just conversation, shared interests, and a beautifully eerie space to wander, browse, and connect.

Whether you’re hoping to spark something romantic, expand your social circle, or just enjoy an evening surrounded by like-minded people and unsettling literature, this night is for you.

✨ What to expect:

• A casual, welcoming atmosphere
• Plenty of time to chat and browse the shelves
• A shared love of books, the weird, and the wonderful
• A queer-inclusive space where all identities are respected
• Our Tarot reader, Natalia, will be on hand for those interested in a reading

Come alone or with a friend, stay for the full evening or just pop in — there’s no pressure to perform or pair off. Sometimes the best connections start with a shared book recommendation.

You're welcome to bring your own drinks & your favourite book you'd like to discuss.

🕯️ Date: 5th June
📍 Location: The Haunted Bookshop, Bristol

We can’t wait to welcome you!

Please note: This is a queer singles and friends night. People attending may be looking for romance, friendship, or community. Please be respectful that not everyone will be compatible, and that’s okay.

Aimed for age 21+
