A CALL TO COURT: AN ACOTAR EXPERIENCE

We’ve waited ten long years for book six of A Court of Thrones and Roses by Sarah J Maas. Now, we celebrate!

Join the haints of The Haunted Book Shop in Mobile, AL, on October 30, 2026, for A CALL TO COURT: AN ACOTAR EXPERIENCE. From 7pm to 10pm, our block of South Joachim Street will become the Night Court with all the flair and romantasy of Prythian! This event will feature costumed attendees, dancing, themed cocktail menus at both Alchemy Tavern and Penton’s Bistro King Bleu Corner Bar, a Prythian Market Square of local artisans and vendors, photo opportunities galore, and more!

Tickets are required for this event and must be purchased in advance. Two ticket tiers are available:

1. Tier 1: ACOTAR 6 book & experience ticket, $65
2. Tier 2: ACOTAR experience only (no book), $30

Included in both tickets are:

• Festive, ACOTAR-themed decor
• Dancing with onsite DJ
• Catering by Penton's Bistro featuring finger foods and sweet treats
• Photo opportunities with book cover backdrop
• Rhinestone face & body art application
• "Win the Reign!" ongoing contest (Guests will have the opportunity to win time on the High Court throne.)

For those who choose to attend in costume, and we highly recommend the costumed experience, you will have the opportunity to present your costume to the High Lady of the Night Court as her subjects will be called to parade before her throne. But who is the High Lady of the Night Court? She might be you! All costumed ticket holders will be eligible to enter the drawing for the throne.

Looking for additional photo settings to capture your original persona? Guests will be granted special, exclusive access to the Mobile Arts Council Gallery and the Ben Kaiser and Vanessa Quintana October 2026 exhibition "Cottage Core,” a whimsical look into the little worlds around us. Glitter, hyper-realism, and specially created installations will offer guests an immersive setting to strike that perfect pose.

Space for this unique, one-night-only experience is limited, so don’t hesitate to buy your ticket. We’ve waited long enough for ACOTAR 6, so we don’t want to wait another minute to celebrate with YOU!

Add-on Costume Workshops:

Are you wondering what your costume should be or how to create a costume fit for the High Lady's Court? We have you covered!

When you book your ACOTAR Experience ticket, you may add on our Costume Workshops! Workshops are $10 each, with costume, hair, accessories, and makeup expertise to guide you through the costuming process. Our experts will inspire you with their Fae costuming knowledge, as well as how to design your look, upcycle items from your closet, choose fabrics for your design, and put all the elements together into your exquisite and unique costume.

Featured instructors include:

• Courtney Matthews, Professional Makeup Artist and Creator/Director of Neu Dawn art experience
• Toya “Lady T" Musings — BA Studio Art, Fantastical Artist, and Founder of Mobile Art Meet
• Jodie Cain Smith, BFA Theatre Arts, former Costume Shop Foreman, Theatre USA

Workshop 1 (September 17th, 6-8pm) will cover design elements, upcycling tips, and practical costume considerations. Workshop 2 (October 1st, 6-9pm) will feature a fantasy makeup tutorial, accessorizing tips, a "fabric, bits, and bobs swap", and one-on-one time with our experts to walk you through the costuming process from design to build.

Only 30 spots are available for each workshop, so don't hesitate to claim your spot.

Special note: If you plan to attend workshop 2, feel free to bring your own fabric scraps, bits, and bobs that you will NOT use with your own costume to swap with other attendees and the instructors' stash. You may also bring your costume pieces to workshop 2 for assistance from our experts.
