Sydney’s Finest Literary Events Programme


Our 2024 events programme recommences in early March in our newly renovated and fully accessible premises at 49 Glebe Point Road.


Our shop literary events are $12 & $9 concession (pensioner/student) and free to members of our gleeclub rewards programme.  Book launches are free and open to the public.  Prices for external events can vary but are typically $15 full price, $10 concession, and $5 for gleeclub members.  Weekday events generally commence at 6pm for 6.30pm, and weekend events at 2.30pm for 3pm. Places are unreserved, so arrive a little early if you require a particular seat.

Bookings are essential for both free and ticketed events, so we can staff and cater the event appropriately.  Book here, following the links below,  or phone 02 9660 2333.  We will email you an order confirmation upon completion of your booking; and will have a record of your booking on the day of the event.

Listings are subject to change without notice. Customers with existing bookings will be notified by email of changes that may affect them.  You are welcome to cancel any booking without penalty for a full refund up until the date of the event; however refunds are not available for non-attendance after the date of the event. Phone the shop on 02 9660 2333 to cancel a booking or request a duplicate if you have misplaced your booking confirmation.
