Take a few hours for yourself, away from the stress of everyday obligations. Our afternoon retreats provide a peaceful sanctuary to unwind and immerse yourself in your current read – no distractions. Between page turns, nibble on lunch or a selection of sandwiches, sweet treats, and bottomless tea or coffee.
Once the glamorous backdrop to Posh and Becks' engagement, Rookery Hall blends timeless elegance with modern luxury, making it the perfect hideaway for an afternoon of guilt-free reading.
AFTERNOON TEA | READING TIME | A SPECIAL BOOKISH GIFT
An indulgent, book-filled afternoon at the stylish Hope Street Hotel—perfect for solo readers or a cosy catch-up with your book-loving friends in a calm, welcoming space to lose yourself in your current read.
LUNCH | READING TIME | HAND-PAINTED BOOKMARK

Our only goal is to allow you the freedom and space to get lost in your book - no judgment here! Socialise with other readers, or don't.
Afternoon retreats allow you to enjoy an afternoon tea or lunch, then find the perfect spot for some you time. Later, you'll go home with a special gift, feeling at peace with the world.
