Tiny Tales is part of The Social Chapter — a bookish community created for people who want to meet other readers, discover new books and spend time doing things they actually love.

It's about browsing, chatting, laughing, swapping book recommendations, discovering new favourites and meeting women who love the same things you do. Come with your bestie.
 Come with your book club. 
Or come completely solo. You don't need to know anyone when you arrive. That's kind of the point. 🤍 🎟️ Your Ticket Includes: 📚 Your own miniature bookshelf to build and take home

You had other ideas. 😂 So we're giving Tiny Tales one final encore before we close the tiny workshop doors for the year.

THE SOCIAL CHAPTER - GALSMAS 2026

Sunday 29 November 2026
🎄 GALSMAS THE SOCIAL CHAPTER CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION COME CELEBRATE OUR FIRST CHAPTER. 🩷 Sunday 29 November 2026 
12pm–3:30pm
 The Guildford Hotel, Guildford WA Amazing women. One Christmas celebration. A whole lot of chaos. THIS ISN'T YOUR TYPICAL CHRISTMAS PARTY. Forget awkward work Christmas parties. Forget standing around wondering who you're supposed to talk to. Forget paying $150 for a three-course meal you didn't really want. And definitely forget thinking you need to be a Christmas person to enjoy this. GALSMAS is Christmas… but make it Social Chapter. It's creative. It's social. It's a little chaotic. It's wholesome. It's fun. It's about meeting women. It's about trying something new. It's about celebrating the community we've created. And it's about having one bloody good day together before the year comes to an end. 🩷 YOU'RE INVITED. Whether you've been here since day one or you literally joined the group last week… Whether you've been to every event or haven't made it to one yet… Whether you're coming with your bestie or walking through the doors completely alone… YOU BELONG HERE. You don't have to celebrate Christmas. You don't have to drink. You don't have to know anyone. You don't have to be outgoing. You don't have to be crafty. You just have to come as you are. Everyone has a place at this table. And yes… YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY COME ALONE. In fact, we'd love you to. Because Social Chapter was built around the idea that you shouldn't need a plus-one to find your people. Come alone. Leave with friends. 🩷 ✨ SO… WHAT'S IN STORE? Your GALSMAS ticket includes the full Social Chapter experience: 🎨 CREATE Get stuck into a gorgeous Christmas craft and create something you'll actually want to take home. Think cute. Think girly. Think Christmas. Think “I made this at GALSMAS.” 🥂 CONNECT Arrive, grab your welcome drink, find a seat and settle in. There'll be plenty of time throughout the day to chat, meet new people, take photos and actually enjoy being together. And because food and additional drinks are PAYG, you can order whatever you want on the day and spend as much or as little as you'd like. 🏆 PLAY You KNOW we couldn't get a room full of Social Chapter girls together without some questionable competition. Expect: ✨ Games
 ✨ Challenges
 ✨ Prizes
 ✨ Friendly rivalry
 ✨ And at least one activity that gets slightly out of hand 😂 🎁 CELEBRATE There'll be a very special Social Chapter Secret Santa surprise waiting for you. Because what's Christmas without a little present? 💌 OUR FIRST CHAPTER This one is a little bit special. Because GALSMAS isn't just about Christmas. It's about everything we've created together this year. From the first events… To the friendships… To the women who walked into rooms not knowing anyone… To the laughs, the crafts, the books, the bus tours, the chaos and everything in between… We're going to take a little moment to look back at our first chapter. And celebrate the women who made it happen. You. 👀 AND THEN THERE ARE THE THINGS I CAN'T TELL YOU… Because obviously I couldn't give you EVERYTHING. There are a couple of things planned for GALSMAS that I'm keeping completely under wraps. Some surprises. Some ridiculousness. And one or two things that are going to make you very glad you got yourself a ticket. So you'll just have to be there. 👀 🎄 THE VIBE Imagine walking into your favourite group chat… but it's real life. Christmas everywhere. Women laughing. Something cute being made at the tables. Music playing. People meeting for the first time. Someone winning a ridiculous prize. Someone taking approximately 47 photos. Someone yelling because they lost a game. And somewhere amongst all of it… you realise you're having a bloody good day with women you didn't even know a few months ago. THAT is GALSMAS. 🍸 FOOD + DRINKS Your ticket includes your welcome drink. Food and any additional drinks are not included in the ticket price and will be available to purchase directly from The Guildford Hotel on the day. We are taking over the stunning Vaudeville Room at the Guildford on the top floor of such a stunning venue, we cannot wait for you to see it decked out Social Chapter style whilst still honouring the traditional heritage aspect of the building. This means you can order what you actually want and spend as much or as little as suits you. Better yet - it’s across the road from the train station if you don’t fancy driving! And yes — non-alcoholic options will be of course available too. You don't need to drink alcohol to have an amazing day at GALSMAS. 🎟️ YOUR TICKET EARLY BIRD $69 Limited early bird tickets. GENERAL ADMISSION $79 Once early bird tickets are gone, general admission applies. LIMITED SPOTS AVAILABLE. We are intentionally keeping GALSMAS still as intimate as possible so that it still feels like Social Chapter. Not a giant Christmas function. Not a room full of strangers. A proper community celebration. One very special day. 📍 THE DETAILS GALSMAS — The Social Chapter Christmas Celebration 📅 Sunday 29 November 2026 ⏰ 12pm - 3:30pm 📍 The Guildford Hotel 👯‍♀️Limited spots only 🎟️ $69 Early Bird / $79 General 🥂 Welcome drink included 🍴 Food + additional drinks PAYG 🎨 Christmas craft included 🎁 Social Chapter Secret Santa included 🏆 Games + prizes included 🩷 ONE LAST THING… If you've ever looked at one of our events and thought: “I wish I had someone to come with.” This is your invitation to stop waiting. If you've ever thought: “I'm too shy.” Come anyway. If you've thought: “I don't really celebrate Christmas.” That's okay. If you've thought: “I haven't been to a Social Chapter event before.” Even better. If you've thought: “I don't know anyone.” You don't have to. Because that's literally why we're here. Social Chapter isn't about who you already know. It's about who you might meet. So come make something. Come play some stupid games. Come win a prize. Come have a drink. Come eat something delicious. Come take cute photos. Come laugh. Come celebrate. Come meet your next friend. Come celebrate our first chapter with us. 🩷 🎄 GALSMAS Your next chapter awaits. Sunday 29 November | 12pm-3:30pm The Guildford Hotel We can't wait to celebrate with you. 🩷
