Frequently Asked Questions
The book club is for all ticket holders, equally, to share and contribute their ideas. Facilitators are present to help guide the night and break the ice (and participate!). It is a safe space for everyone to have thought-provoking, insightful conversations about books. Please come with an open mind and be open respectful to our hosts and participants. We have safe spaces for you to step aside and take a moment for yourself if/when necessary.
All book club participants will get 10% off any in-store purchases on book club nights. There will also be nibbles and a welcome drink (non-alcoholic) to get you settled in!
Event tickets are non-refundable. However, we can issue you a store credit refund or you can pay it forward and pass the ticket along to someone on the waitlist.
If you can no longer make it to an event you’ve booked in for, please let us know so that we can give your spot to someone else!
Events are announced on our Instagram page and in our newsletter. You can find tickets here for our upcoming events.
We run a monthly book club, hold book launches and author salons, and general community events. Our reading room is also available for hire for private events.

Accessibility at Amplify
Our reading room is accessed by a small spiral staircase. Unfortunately, there are no lifts on the premises.
There are two steps leading into the shop and two steps inside the shop that take you to the counter and the non-fiction section. We have a sturdy foldable ramp that can be placed for anyone who requires it for these steps.
