Welcome to Glitter Gel Pen Book Club, a Sydney-based social club that hosts intentional gatherings across the city's most sought-after wine bars, restaurants, and creative spaces. From book clubs and silent reading sessions to listening parties, group screenings and social events, each experience is designed to connect like-minded women offline. We champion feel-good fiction, pop culture and lighter forms of leisure because life is serious enough; let's romanticise it

You’re invited to our annual Glitter Gel Pen Christmas Book Swap: a festive Friendsmas filled with books, wine, and gifts. Picture a beautifully styled Christmas tablescape, a curated Christmas set menu with all the trimmings, bonbons, and of course, a glass of wine, all inside one of Sydney’s dreamiest venues.

Your ticket includes:

A seasonal Christmas menu made for grazing, sharing, and savouring (with all dietary requirements in mind).

A delicious glass of wine on arrival to kick off the festive cheer (white, red or rosé, or a non-alcoholic alternative).

An organised book Swap. Bring a book, freshly bought or gently loved, and share a few plot hints when you arrive. We’ll wrap it for you. Later in the evening, everyone picks a parcel by its clues and takes home a surprise summer read (swapping and trading is encouraged).

Each guest will receive a faux leather bookmark, laser-engraved live on the night from Etched Studio. Choose your colour and make it yours with a favourite quote, a treasured line, your name or a personal message. Finish with a festive motif, zodiac sign or heart for a bespoke addition to your reading ritual <3

A little extra sparkle: GGP accessories for jotting down your hot takes, special Christmas goodie bags waiting at your seats (our best of the year!!), and ongoing access to our Glitter Gel Pen community.

A thoughtfully curated evening with like-minded women, discussing our December read, Holiday Ever After by Hannah Grace, and raising a glass to the year that was.

December is super busy, so this will be our ONLY event of the month, and we’re keeping it intentionally intimate. That means tickets are limited, and this is a Friendsmas you don’t want to miss!🎄💌🍷 Tickets go on sale October 12th at 6 pm.

Coming Solo? Most of our girls do! We've curated the evening, considered the details and found the perfect spot. All that's left for you to do is turn up x
