Jane's Reading Room - Coming in 2026!

Jane’s Reading Room is a space dedicated to the quiet magic of stories and the joy of discovery. Named in honour of our Creative Director's mother, Jane, who always ensured her daughters were surrounded by books, the room is a tribute to the way stories can shape who we become. This cosy, welcoming space located in the heart of Brunswick will offer visitors a chance to slow down, explore fantastical worlds, and connect with the heart of our book-loving community. Whether you're browsing a shelf, sinking into a comfy chair with a cup of tea, or chatting with fellow readers, Jane’s Reading Room is designed to feel like home for anyone who believes in the power of a good book.

Jane’s Reading Room will be open by appointment to ensure a relaxed and personal experience for every visitor. We’ll host dedicated reading and writing events and occasionally open our doors for walk-ins.


To stay in the loop about opening times and special events, be sure to follow us on TikTok or sign up for our mailing list. We can’t wait to welcome you into this magical space.
