1. 📚 Hibiscus Nights: Book Swap

Fancy a night out without needing to bring a whole group with you?

Our Hibiscus Nights Book Swap is a relaxed evening for anyone who loves books, enjoys meeting new people, or simply fancies getting out for a couple of hours.

Come along on your own or bring a friend. There’s no pressure to be chatty or know anyone when you arrive — just bring a book (or a few!) that you’ve enjoyed and would happily pass on to someone else.

How it works:
📖 Bring up to 3 books to swap
🌿 Browse the books brought along by others
☕ Enjoy a drink in the relaxed surroundings of Hibiscus Lounge
💬 Chat, connect and maybe discover your next favourite read

You can swap, browse, have a drink and enjoy the evening at your own pace.

Whether you’re a lifelong bookworm or just looking for a reason to put your phone down and do something a little different, come and join us.

Come solo. Leave with a new book — and maybe a few new connections too.
