📚 Join The Offline Club at The 5th Amsterdam Oost for our Offline Reading Party, including an (optional) book swap.
Lock your phone away in an old school building that now serves as a premium hostel designed for connection between travelers and locals, and enjoy relaxed reading time free from digital distractions. ❤️ This reading party is your chance to disconnect from screens, unwind from the daily buzz, and meet like-minded people.
It’s like a little escape into a different world where time slows down, people are open to connect, and you can truly focus on yourself. 😌

What to expect: 
📖 Peaceful (me-)time to read that book you keep meaning to start (or finish!)
🤝 The chance to meet and connect with like-minded (wannabe) booklovers
💬 A space where connection is easy - no rush, no pressure, no notifications
🫖 Community vibes, calming background music, and a welcoming atmosphere
📵 Valuable time offline that leaves you feeling rested and fulfilled
*Stayokay is kindly hosting us to support our mission, so let’s return the love - your own drinks and snacks may stay home, and purchase of one consumption is required.

The Program, curated by our community hosts:
14:00 - 14:30 | Arrive & make yourself at home
14:30 - 15:30 | Dive into your book
15:30 - 16:45 | Connect with others
16:45 - 17:00 | Round-up and goodbye
👉🏼 Dive into your book
This is your time to sit back and enjoy undistracted reading time. Slow down, recharge and feel the magic of reading alone, together. Please bring your own book, cartoon, or poetry bundle - we love all literature.
👉🏼 Connect with others + book swap:
Chat & connect with others, but only if you feel like it. This is the time to meet new people, connect over books, and enjoy meaningful conversations. We create laid-back spaces where talking to strangers is the norm and connection is made easy. Feel free to come solo, or with friends.
The book swap is optional - but a fun way to discover new reads and give a second life to a book you’ve finished. So, got a book that’s getting dusty sitting on your book shelf? Bring it along!
We can’t wait to swap screen time for real time with you.
Love, The Offline Club

About your phone: Your phone will rest in our phone hotel, and we’ll be its bodyguards. 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 €14.50 voucher to use toward a future event.
