[FREE] 📚 Books & Gossip 🍵 | Ruby Hotel

​A Free Introduction Event

​Dublin deserves more Quality Time.

​Forget the "social events" with no quality. We’re "breaking up" with noise to bring you an evening that’s half sanctuary, half social. We will guide you through it!

​Welcome to Books & Gossip, our curated evening at the stunning Ruby Hotel Library.

​This is a free introduction event, designed to show you exactly what our community is all about. We’ve reserved the private Ruby Molly Library (a gorgeous, hidden gem usually closed to the public) so you can experience the magic of being truly present.

​✨ The Quality Time Experience:

​We believe that a time to zone-out is as important as the social aspects of events, and that a little help can go a long way. This evening is designed to give you the best of both:

• ​📖 Reading time: Dive into that book you’ve been meaning to read and calm down after a day of work.

• ​💬 "Gossip" time: After the zone-out, we open the floor. This is a space for real talk, book swaps, and meeting like-minded people who are calm and eager to have quality conversations.

• ​🤝 Easy Connection: We curate the atmosphere and guide the experience, so that talking to a "stranger" feels like catching up with a friend.

​🕰️ The Program (Curated by your Quality Time Keepers):

• ​18:30 – 18:45 | Arrive, grab a drink, and find your cosy nook.

• ​18:45 – 20:00 | Zone-Out: Dive into your book. Slow down and recharge in a room of people doing the same.

• ​20:00 – 21:20 | Zone-in (and gossip about books!): This is where we share ideas, stories, and a few laughs over a drink. Don't worry - we'll help you get sociable!

• ​21:20 – 21:30 | Round-up and soft goodbyes.

​🎒 What to bring:

• ​Your Literature: Physical books, e-readers, graphic novels, journals, or poetry (We do not judge).

• ​Your Card: The Ruby is a no-cash hotel, so bring your card if you’d like to support the venue by grabbing a cocktail, tea, or snack! 💳

• ​Yourself: No "content" needed, just your presence.

​📸 Pictures will be sent to you after the event.
