February’s Play: The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde
In Iceland, there is a Christmas Eve Tradition known as Jólabókaflóð or the “Christmas Book Flood.” It revolves around giving and recieving new books and then spending time reading and sharing stories while enjoying treats. We will be adapting the tradition slightly, opening up the community room for a couple of hours of quiet reading and light discussion. Feel free to bring sweet treats to enjoy with the tea and hot chocolate we will be serving! No registration needed. This event is 14+.
Do you love Jane Austen, books & movies set in the Regency period, and/or chatting with friends over tea and cakes? Then sign up for our themed tea party on Monday, January 6th at 6pm. We will discuss all things Austen and play a few games while nibbling on tea and light refreshments. You can register here. Hats are optional.
