About this event

Event lasts 4 hours

Calling all romantasy lovers in West London! Join us for a relaxed Saturday afternoon of bookshopping and bites in Shepherd’s Bush — the perfect chance to meet other readers, add a few new titles to your TBR, and chat bookish obsessions over dinner 💫📚

We’ll meet at 3PM at Blank Street Coffe in Westfield Shepherd’s Bush, where we’ll explore both Waterstones and The Works — hunting for romantasy gems, comparing tropes, and (if we’re lucky) peer pressuring each other into spontaneous purchases 🤭✨

Then, we’ll wander over to The Hawk’s Nest — a gorgeous hidden spot just 10 minutes away — for a relaxed early dinner with pizzas, cocktails, and lots of book chat. Whether you come solo or with a friend, you’ll be welcomed with open arms (and probably asked what your favourite fictional morally grey man is).

✨ Come for the books, stay for the company.

🎟 Tickets are super limited — grab your spot before they vanish!

Frequently asked questions

Who is this event for?

This is for any romantasy, fantasy, or fiction readers who want to meet other bookish babes IRL! You don’t need to be local to join — just willing to hop on a tube to Shepherd’s Bush ?

What should I bring?

Just yourself and your TBR wishlist!

Do I need to book a dinner ticket separately?

Nope — we’ve reserved a table, and you’ll just order and pay for your own food/drinks on the day.

Can I come solo?

Absolutely! Most people do. This is a warm, welcoming hangout and a great chance to meet fellow readers.

Is this dog-friendly?

Dogs aren't allowed in Westfield but hosts a wonderful doggy daycare called 'Urban Mutts', where you can drop off your dog for the day.
