After 7 years of building our wee bookish community, we're getting to celebrate something pretty HUGE, and we want you all there with us 💗

What's included in your ticket !!!!!
🥂 Prosecco and a chip poke reception (a Belfast delicacy, AVISSLY)
🎨 A custom Lit to the Tit print by the wonderful Molly Ellan Arts
🎤 An exciting line-up of storytellers and spoken word performances !!!!
OUR LINE-UP 💗
We'll kick things off with a short welcome speech from yours truly, Claire McCullough, creator of Lit(erature) to the Tit, introducing our Lit(erature) without Borders programme and giving you a wee taste of what to expect from us in 2027 !!!!
Followed by performances from:

Come completely by yourself or bring a few friends along. This is a social event, so come ready to chat, meet new people and hopefully leave with a few new besties !!!!!!
And there is absolutely NO official dress code for our launch night. Wear whatever you feel your best in! I will, however, be using this as an excuse to play dress-up hahahah
