SIDESHOW SUMMER

At SideShow Books, we revel in the summer months as a time to celebrate our community of friends and fiends: book fiends, film fiends, music fiends, curious and creative adventurers of all stripes. This summer we have a number of film programs running weekly, alongside craft nights, games, music, zine/comic workshops and poetry readings.  Highlights include Zine and Bookbinding workshops in July, and a return of our “rock concert” craft night as well.

Film screenings work as follows: Doors Open at 7:45pm. Films start at 8:30pm.  Admission cost is… BUY A BOOK!
