Silent Reading Session

Spend your Saturday evening with a collective of silent readers.

Join a group table or sit with a friend or two. Grab yourself a drink and relax!

We know it's hard to make time to read when there are a million other things to do. So we've made a space to read together. With a touch of peer pressure for those who need it, and a way to socialise for those who love to hang out with friends in silence. Some together alone time!

Bring your current read, or if you're in between books, have a look through our library cellar shelves.

Tickets include a house wine on arrival (non-alc options available)

We only have a few house rules:

• No tech allowed for the silent time - none of that! With the exception of kindles and audio books, of course.

• No chatty catch-ups! There'll be a little time before and after to chat to your neighbours, but beyond that it's shhhhh.

• This is an 18+ event as we are a licensed venue.

• Please arrive by 7pm so we can begin on time.

We'll see you there - happy reading!

This event will take place on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri and Woi Wurrung Peoples of the Kulin Nation. We would like to acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded and pay our respects to elders past and present.

Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
