Entry to Folly Launch Party 2025 + Journal

NZ$50.00

Yes, we charge. Art costs money. But you also get a copy of an internationally awarded literary publication that will look very fancy on your coffee table.

Issue 003 has landed and we're throwing a party. This is less of a 'polite literary soirée' and more an immersive experience. Your fifty bucks ensures we can pay actual professionals—like DJs who don't play wedding music and staff who won't judge your life choices.

What your ticket gets you:

  • Champagne on arrival (arrive late, drink water like a peasant).

  • Your very own copy of Folly Issue 003—New Zealand's fastest-selling journal and internationally awarded cultural export that's being unveiled at Frankfurt Book Fair this year.

  • An evening of both erotic soirée ambiance and a thumping dancefloor until the sun comes up.

  • Private areas for plotting, conducting affairs or hiding from people.

The Gory Details:

  • Doors: 8pm start for those who want champagne

  • BYO your poison or tonics of choice. Chillers will be available.

  • Last entry: Midnight

  • Party ends: 5am (or when the last person gets off the dancefloor)

  • Take a copy of Folly 003 home with you as you depart. Or don’t, we don’t care. We just care that you come to support the arts.

We will also have some sales available on the night, for those who need ten for your book club or extras for Uncle Kevin or just want to have multiple for Secret Santa gifts.
