BIG FAT READING FEST 📚 | The Offline Club x Hoftuin
📚 Join The Offline Club's first ever Big Fat Reading Fest – a special phone-free celebration full of books, (social) reading, bookworms, and wannabe readers. 🤓
To end Summer with a bang, The Offline Club is turning the beautiful, hidden-away Hoftuin into a peaceful offline oasis where hundreds of book lovers will come together to lock away their phone, slow down, enjoy focused reading, and connect over books.
What to expect:
📖 Chill reading time in the garden – bring your fave book, manga, comic or poetry bundle.
🎨 Make Your Own Bookmark station – craft a little something special for your next reading session.
🎲 Big Fat Book Bingo – a fun way to connect with other book lovers.
📚 A cozy book swap corner – give a book, take a book
🥪 Enjoy food, drinks & snacks from Dignita – the peaceful café right inside Hoftuin
*And much more fun stuff to come!

Dive into your book
This is your time to sit back and enjoy focused reading time, without digital distractions. Slow down, recharge and feel the magic of reading alone, together. Please bring your own book, cartoon, or poetry bundle. Don’t feel like reading? No worries - feel free to get crafty and create your own bookmark.
Connect, have fun, explore (or keep reading)
Chat, connect and play with others, but only if you feel like it. This is your time to meet new people, connect over books, and enjoy meaningful conversations. Join the Big Fat Book Bingo, explore the book swap corner, make new friends, and get creative at the Pimp Your Own Bookmark station.
About your phone: Your phone will rest in our phone hotel, and we’ll be its body guards. But just so you know, if it magically disappears, learns to fly, or mysteriously breaks, The Offline Club can’t be held responsible. In case you’re not quite ready to let it go, no worries - feel free to turn it off and keep it tucked away, out of sight!
Refunds? Sorry, no take-backs.
But! If you cancel at least 48 hours before the event, you can request a €9.50 voucher to use toward a future event.
We can’t wait to swap screen time for real time with you.
Love, The Offline Club
