Calling all romance readers! Join our festive speed-friending night. Meet fellow book lovers, swap recommendations & enjoy a glass of wine.

After the success of our first Book Speed-Friending event, we're back with a festive edition. With so many exciting book releases landing over the past few months, there's plenty to catch up on as we head into the holiday season.

Before the event, you'll receive a short form to tell us about your favourite books, helping us tailor the prompts and pairings.

Your ticket includes a glass of wine or soft drink on arrival before you rotate through a series of quick, fun conversations with fellow readers. Expect everything from comfort-read confessions to lively chats about your favourite tropes, from slow burns to action-packed romantasy.

We're delighted to once again be partnering with Book Lovers Bookshop, who'll be joining us with curated recommendations and plenty of books to browse and buy. Whether you're treating yourself to an early festive gift or picking up something for a fellow book lover, there'll be plenty of inspiration on hand.

You'll also find a selection of festive book-themed activities and icebreakers designed to spark conversation, share recommendations and help you connect with other guests throughout the evening.

Choose from two ticket options: one with your welcome wine, or one that includes wine plus a book of your choice from a curated selection by Book Lovers Bookshop.

Come ready to talk books, discover new favourites, meet great people and leave with an even longer TBR than when you arrived.
