Read & Yap (literally) is BACK!
Consider this your break from the algorithm and the chance to enjoy some intentional time offline to start your week. No assigned reading, no homework and absolutely no reading deadlines required.
How it works:
Bring along your current read (in any format), grab a drink, find a cosy spot in our vibey corner of the bar and settle in for approximately an hour of reading, followed by plenty of bookish chit chat.
And because every good reading night needs something sweet, The Crema Room will be treating us to tiramisu to enjoy throughout the evening.
The Details:
Time: 6:30pm - 8:30pm
Date: Monday 19th October
Venue: The Gresham, 308 Queen Street, Brisbane City
Tickets: $36 + booking fee
Includes your choice of wine, beer or non-alc beverage, plus tiramisu by The Crema Room
Add-On: Coming straight from work? The Gresham has you covered for dinner! Add a toastie served with crisps for $18 at checkout.
About the venue:
We’re taking over the cosy back room at The Gresham for the evening. With vintage couches, warm lighting and all the old-world charm, it feels like it was practically made for curling up with a book and a glass of wine.
Come alone, bring a friend, meet some fellow book lovers, this one is all about slowing down, getting lost in a good book and having a bookish yap afterwards.
This event is intentially intimate so spots are limited.
