Upcoming events at the Haunted Bookshop, Bristol

Step into a night made for slow conversations, stolen glances, and stories shared between the shelves.

Live out your fantasy of meeting someone in a bookshop.

Bring a preloved book — a fragment of of your own story — and gift it to someone who draws you in. Tuck a note inside for the one you'd like to keep turning pages with.

Step into the magic of balance as we gather on the Autumn Equinox, Sunday, 21st September at 5pm, meeting at The Haunted Bookshop.

On this day of equal light and darkness, we pause at the threshold before the nights grow longer. The equinox invites us to reflect on balance in our own lives - what to harvest, what to release, and how to move with the turning of the year.

Guided by stories and secrets of the city, we’ll wander through Castle Park, drift across Queen Square, and climb Brandon Hill to watch the sun set on summer’s end. As twilight falls, we’ll complete our walk together at the pub, raising a glass to the season ahead.

Join author ANYA BERGMAN to hear her talk about her new novel THE TAROT READER OF VERSAILLES, published by Manilla Press this summer and inspired by the story of the real tarot reader Mademoiselle Lenormand during the French Revolution.

Anya will be interviewed by our in-house Tarot reader and Astrologer RaRa Tarot. Rara will also be available for Tarot readings before and after the event.

Anya will be joined by singer/songwriter LIZZIE CAMPBELL and her music as together they weave a spell of words, music, magic and tarot for your delight!

Join us for an evening of story telling and a Q&A with author Charlie Creed as he presents his upcoming book 'The Cat's Tales'!

Charlie will be interviewed by Suki Broad, the founder of Bristol's Women's Fantasy Writing Group.

The Q&A will be followed by readings from the book and will include fairy tales and folk stories about our feline friends!

Have You Always Dreamed of Starting a Coven? Are you a witch, warlock, or wayward soul yearning to connect with kindred spirits? Do you feel homesick for somewhere you belong?

Whether you're a seasoned practitioner, still in the broom closet, or simply enjoy the dark and mysterious, come join us Friday, October 10th, in Bristol's most atmospheric bookshop and meet people who share your interests!
