Join us for a Queer Book Swap and Social! Bring up to 5 pre-loved books to swap, and enjoy mixing and mingling with other bookish queers in this vibrant, vegan space! The books do not have to be specifically queer, but if they are, even better! We love connecting the queer community - bring your friends along and meet other queer folks with similar interests. There will be spaces to sit down, settle in, and socialise over some ice-breakers and games as well as delightful vegan treats & bevvies for purchase. There will be alcoholic and non-alcoholic options available.
Don't miss out on the opportunity to expand your library and literary horizons, and enjoy a cheap night out with friends!
How Does It Work?
When you arrive you will exchange your swappable books for tokens. You can then browse books brought by others, and “check out” at the end by “cashing in” the tokens for those items.
1 item = 1 token to exchange
Once the items are traded for tokens they go straight onto the floor, so make sure you are 100% sure before you pass them over.
Any items remaining at the end of the swap may be kept for the next event, or donated.
If you have more than 5 items, please hold onto the rest for another swap event! We unfortunately do not have the space to store so many books in our personal home in conjunction with the clothing swap items.
Tickets are PWYC - Suggested donation of £5 as we do have to pay a small venue hire fee for this event! We are a charity and all proceeds are used to cover overhead costs and put on future events.

❗❗ Note: Please bring books that other people would enjoy. The general rule of swapping is to bring the kind of quality items you would like to bring home with you! We can accept magazines and photo books for our collage workshops, but these are not eligible for swap tokens.
Accessibility: Love Shack is not step-free and does not have an accessible toilet.
