About Event

📚 Lit(erature) to the Tit Bookclub x Mental Health Arts NI Presents:

Silent Bookclub

​Join us for our cozy drop-in reading session designed to create a warm and welcoming space for our community. Whether you're devouring a book, jotting down your thoughts, writing creatively, or simply looking to catch up with like-minded people, this is the perfect place to slow down and connect.

📅 Date: Tuesday 12th May

🕒 Time: 7pm
📍 Location: The Library Bar (Upstairs in The Watson)

What’s Happening?

  • Silent Bookclub – Come armed with your current read (no judgment). We’ll sip, snack, and read together in glorious silence for an hour.

Supporting a Good Cause
There’s a small fee to attend, with proceeds going to Mental Health Arts NI, our chosen charity of the month.

Rules of Engagement:

  • ​Bring a book for you to read silently, or something you're working on - be it reading, writing, journaling or just some well deserved downtime.

  • ​Bring a few books to swap

  • ​The Watson serves up some NA alcoholic or alcoholic drinks at the bar for purchase, The Poke Club also serves food if you're feeling peckish

  • ​No spoilers unless specifically requested (and accompanied by proper gasp-faces).

  • Ticket Policy:

    • ​No refunds (all for a good cause).

    • ​If you can no longer make it, let us know and we’ll offer your spot to someone on the waiting list.

    Why Come?
    Because sometimes reading together without talking is the most social thing you can do.

    ​EVERYONE WELCOME, ALL AGES, ALL GENDERS XXXYZ

    C’était un magasin de meubles, Robert Watson & Co., qui occupait à l’origine ce gracieux immeuble à l’intersection de Little Donegall Street et Library Street à Belfast. On est alors fin XIXe-début XXe et ce commerce va rester là jusqu’à sa fermeture dans les années 1960. Suit une reconversion en bar et salle de billard, puis de sombres projets de destruction (qui n’aboutiront pas) en vue de construire un immeuble plus moderne à la place, et une nouvelle succession de pubs, restos, bars et autres. Je suis passée là il y a deux ans entre deux propriétaires, visiblement, l’endroit ayant rouvert fin 2024 sous le nom The Watson en clin d’œil à l’histoire du lieu (oui, c’est pour voir si vous avez tout bien lu le début). Août 2023.
