The Tarot Space is a relaxed fortnightly tarot gathering held on Thursday evenings at The Haunted Bookshop.
It’s a welcoming, judgement-free space to explore tarot, practise reading, share insights, and connect with other card-lovers - whether you’re completely new or already experienced. Bring your deck (or just your curiosity) and settle into an evening of reflection, conversation, and intuitive connection.
