About the event
Welcome to Books & Bevvies — a casual book swap and drinks social in the Sydney CBD. This is not a book club with homework. It’s a simple, low-key way to meet people, chat about what you’ve been reading, and walk out with something new.
HOW IT WORKS Bring a book you’re happy to part with. Pop it on the swap table when you arrive. Mingle, chat, and swap recommendations. When the swap opens, take a book that catches your eye. Stay for a drink and a conversation after.
WHAT TO BRING One book, any genre and any reading level.
GOOD TO KNOW The venue relies on accurate numbers for staffing, so if you can’t make it, please change your RSVP to “not going”. Repeated no-shows may result in removal from the group.
The venue is kindly not enforcing a minimum spend, but please support them by buying a drink, soft drink, or some lunch during the swap if you can.
There is no mandatory entry fee, but voluntary contributions are very much appreciated. The group costs around $65 a month to keep running, so if you enjoy the swap and are in a position to chip in, even $5 or $10 makes a real difference. I’ll have a jar near the sign-in list on the day. Please feel free to contribute at any stage through the swap.
WHERE WE’LL BE We’ll be in the Market Street Garden Bar, with a table full of books and bevvies.
