EVENT MARCH 7: Books at the Wine Bar - Silent Reading Party

Join us at Alexia Urban Winery for our third Silent Reading Party and help us raise fund for the Greytown Festival of Christmas.

Unlike a book group which often involves awkward chat, this is an evening quietly reading in an inviting wine bar with others.

Bring along your book, purchase a beverage and some food, and enjoy an hour or more of uninterrupted reading time with like-minded souls.

You can come along as a group, but many people do come to Books at the Bar on their own - everyone is welcome. If you come along on your own, you can join a table with other independent readers, chat if you want to, or just get started for an extra long reading session. No judgement!

This Books at the Bar is a fundraiser for the Greytown Festival of Christmas. All ticket sales go directly to the Festival, and you can buy raffle tickets (in advance or with cash on the night) to further help our efforts. The prizes include:

• A $100 voucher for Mrs Blackwell’s Village Bookshop
• 12 new or recently released books in a Mrs Blackwell’s Village Bookshop army green tote bag
• A Greytown Distilling Company Mini Bar

Friday, March 7th at Alexia Urban Winery

• Winery opens at 4:30pm - arrive early for food, wine and first dibs on seats!
• Silent reading begins at 6:05pm, finishes 7:05pm
• Raffle prizes drawn (winners must be present)
• Winery closes at 8pm

Afterward, you can quietly slip out (we won’t judge), or stay and engage in some not-so-small talk with your fellow readers.
