About this Event
This Halloween, Ladies Who Lit invites you to The Witching Hour, an exclusive event for our community of women and non-binary babes to connect with fellow book lovers, indulge in some seasonal spellbinding mischief, and see what the coven has been cooking up.
Step inside a night of books, mystery and a little magic, where the unexpected is lurking around every corner.
Sip something delicious, feast on decadent spreads and settle in for an atmospheric evening of tarot readings, circus performers and dark literary delights.
Dress to K*ll for the chance to win our bewitchingly best-dressed competition, with prizes to be won throughout the night.
Partake in a spooky book swap and fall in love with dark fantasies you never knew you needed.
Join our coven-inspired M**der mystery hunt, following a trail of clues through St Ethelburga’s, with hidden QR codes revealing secrets of the sisterhood and sinister goings-on as the evening unfolds. Those who crack the case will be in with a chance to win a place on our 2027 Seville Reading Retreat!
