Reading Party Residency @ The StandardX Fitzroy 18 September

Join Reading Party Melbourne and The StandardX Fitzroy for a cosy Friday evening of reading and conversation. As part of our winter residency, we'll be gathering at The StandardX each month throughout the colder season, creating the perfect space to slow down with a good book. At this intimate reading party, you'll settle into a cosy space with just 15 fellow readers. Tucked beside the fireplace in the hotel's lounge, adjacent to the restaurant, it's perfect for those who enjoy reading with the hum of conversation and ambient background sounds. If you prefer complete silence while you read, this may not be the right event for you. This is not a book club. There are no assigned chapters, no homework, no judgments about what you should be reading. Just you, your book (or e-reader), and the joy of making the time to read while being around other people doing the same thing. It's time to read more, meet new friends, and get off your phone for an evening equal parts wholesome and fun. Each ticket for this Friday night event includes a complimentary wine, beer, or non-alcoholic beverage, presented through a bespoke Reading Party Melbourne x The StandardX Fitzroy bookmark that guests receive on arrival. The bookmark can be redeemed at the rooftop bar, creating the perfect opportunity to continue the evening upstairs after reading time with a drink, conversation, and views across Fitzroy. Event info: ⏰ 7pm - 9pm, Friday 18 September. 📍The StandardX Fitzroy How it works: It's simple. Bring a book of your choice. Settle in and read. Once reading time is over, make new friends (if you want). About the venue: Located in the heart of Fitzroy, The StandardX is a thoughtfully designed hotel that reflects the neighbourhood's creative spirit and relaxed energy. Its warm, contemporary spaces create the perfect setting to slow down with a book, before staying on to share a drink and conversation with fellow readers.
