Calling it a book fair slightly undersells what the Read Fest team has pulled together here. Reading matters, yes, but it shares the spotlight with an art market. Crafts and handmade pieces sit beside small workshops, while shaded corners invite you to nurse a cold drink with a paperback and let live music drift past. Nothing feels rushed. Time loosens its grip. Hops lives up to its name by folding craft beer and comfort food into the mix, giving the whole thing a gentle buzz without tipping over. A stamp-collecting game adds a childish thrill, the kind you did not know you missed. The mood stays light, sociable and slightly messy around the edges. Come curious, leave with a tote bag, a story or at least a decent memory.
Until February 6. Free. S-Oasis, 3pm-10pm
