Four decades in, there’s a reason why we still can’t get Kylie Minogue out of our heads. Pop princess, disco queen, gay icon and one of the most enduring figures in music, Kylie is a bona fide legend.

To celebrate all things Kylie and the release of author and journalist ’s new book, ‘Can’t Get You Out Of My Head: In Search of Kylie’, we’re hosting a very special Kylie-themed night at The Victoria (CLUBHOUSE SOCIAL).

Alongside a Q&A with Michael, we’ll be putting your pop knowledge to the test with the Ultimate Kylie Quiz.

Whether you’re a casual fan, a lifelong stan or somewhere between Light Years and Fever, prepare to Step Back in Time, embrace the Tension and prove that you really do know your Kylie. So polish your gold hot pants, dust off those old copies of Smash Hits and get ready to win some poptastic prizes. Because this night is all about one thing: Kylie Minogue.

Tickets available now via the link in our bio 💖

We’ve got our last two Juno Reads book clubs ready and what a pair!

16/17 SEPTEMBER - TAIWAN TRAVELOGUE

Winner of the 2026 International Booker Prize and published by Sheffield’s own And Other Stories, Taiwan Travelogue is described as ‘a bittersweet story of love between two women, nested in an artful exploration of language, history and power’. Set in the 1930s, it is ‘disguised as a translation of a text by a Japanese writer’ and explores questions about colonialism and how power dynamics affect our relationships.

18/19 NOVEMBER - EXCELLENT WOMEN

In November we’ll read Excellent Women, a funny and touching mid-century novel which follows the story of Mildred Lathbury, ‘one of those excellent women who are often taken for granted’. Barbara Pym’s classic comedy of manners follows what happens when glamorous neighbours move in next door…

Tickets and more information are available via our website or the link in bio. See you soon!

We had the best night learning about the rise and fall of Shere Hite, whose groundbreaking Hite Report sold a staggering 50 million copies! Rosa delved deep into the book that told the truths - and exposed the myths - of vaginal or**sm, plus she shared the highlights of Shere’s 300-box, carefully-curated archive, which shed light on a complex but fascinating feminist researcher, a former Pl***oy model turned bestselling author and, later, a vehement anti-porn campaigner. We’ve got a tiny handful of signed books left in the shop, grab them to learn more about this thorny, glamorous and, ultimately, forgotten pioneer.

Thanks to Rosa and Clare for a brilliant evening!

last night we welcomed to the shop to talk about his brilliant book Florenzer, a juicy romp through q***r life in 15th century Florence, published by .

Phil chatted to our very own about depicting real-life characters such as a young Leonardo Da Vinci, cruising in Renaissance Italy, his research process, and the fascinating tidbits he found along the way... for example, did you know the word 'nepotism' has roots in the Latin term for 'nephew' because 15th century popes handed the best jobs to their nephews? us neither!

we've got just two signed copies left in the shop, be quick if you wanna snap them up!
