Counter at Native to host Scottish book launch of Feel Good Club

Counter at Native Edinburgh will host the Scottish book launch of Feel Good Club, written by popular Manchester based entrepreneurs Kiera and Aimie Lawlor-Skillen. 

Purchase tickets for Feel Good Club’s Scottish book launch at Counter from 7 – 8pm Thursday 29th September for only £4 here. The £4 event voucher is redeemable against a copy of the book and will help Lighthouse bookshop continue to run events. Alternatively, guests can purchase an event ticket and the Feel Good Club book for £9.99. 

Guests will hear Kiera and Aimie Lawlow-Skillen discuss their debut book, written for the sole purpose of making people feel good, in Native Edinburgh’s stunning lounge space, Counter.

Renowned around the UK for their inspirational Instagram account @wearefeelgoodclub, the dynamic couple also operate Feel Good Club coffee shop and events space in Manchester and have now turned their talents to writing. 

The debut book brings Feel Good Club’s trademark inspiring quotes to life, offering real-life wisdom and enabling readers to overcome life’s tough moments. Feel Good Club’s mission is to normalise sharing how we feel and making people feel good through positive, accessible self-help. 

The launch comes following a new partnership for Counter with one of Edinburgh’s most radical, independently owned bookshops, Lighthouse. Lighthouse are set to host monthly feminist book salons at Counter each month, transforming Native Edinburgh’s luxurious lounge into a feminist book club with a series of talks and events from thought-provoking writers.

Open 11am – 1am to all, including non-residents, Counter’s lush green hues and botanical themes take inspiration from the nearby Royal Botanic Gardens, welcoming guests into a peaceful haven right in the heart of Edinburgh.
