THE FOOL'S WAY, Beginner's Tarot Course with Francesca Way

Drawing Our Pain - Invisible Pain Workshop

A Story-Sharing Gathering for Invisible Illness & Medical Trauma


Join us at The Haunted Bookshop for a gentle, community-centred gathering for people living with invisible disabilities, chronic pain, endometriosis, difficult or debilitating periods, and those who have been harmed or dismissed by the healthcare system.


This is a free, low-pressure event where we’ll use drawing as a tool to explore and express pain—physical, emotional, and systemic. No art experience is needed. Drawing is simply a way to give shape to experiences that are so often minimised, misunderstood, or made invisible.


Those who wish will be invited (never required) to share the stories behind their drawings. Listening is as welcome as speaking. You are free to participate in whatever way feels safest for you: drawing quietly, sharing a few words, or simply being present in a room where your pain is believed.

A Haunted Pub Crawl & Photoshoot

This October, haunt the streets of Bristol in style with our Haunted Pub Crawl & Ghost Photoshoot - a night of eerie fun, gothic vibes and iconic locations.


But this isn't your average pub crawl...


Bring a pair of your favourite sunglasses, and we'll provide the white sheets to turn you into a ghost! Photographer Mia Galey will be taking ghost photos of you in full-sheet attire at some of Bristol's most atmospheric and historic locations. Think classic ghost costumes, dramatic poses, and plenty of moody corners to haunt for the camera.

Whether you're a solo spectre or coming with your ghost gang, you'll leave with unique, professional photos that look like you've been wandering the earth for centuries - in style.


The walk will start in Bristol's spookiest bookshop, The Haunted Bookshop in Stokes Croft, where you'll get 10% off to shop our witchcraft, horror and fantasy-themed books. Come early for more time to browse!

Haunted Sip & Draw

Join us on Thursday, the 8th of October, for an evening of spooky drawing!


Hosted in the wonderfully enchanting atmosphere of The Haunted Bookshop, we are celebrating 2026 —the National Year of Reading— with an imaginative weaving of drawing and spooky storytelling.


Our guests for the evening will be presented with a selection of haunted and spooky objects to draw while enjoying a glass of wine or a non-alcoholic option.


All art materials will be provided, and no drawing experience is required — simply bring your curiosity for the supernatural and your enthusiasm for drawing! Those who are used to certain materials and sketchbooks are welcome to bring them along for their own comfort and convenience.


To get our imagination going, we will be reading/listening to scary short stories & poems, and passages, while atmospheric music plays in the background.
