Events
We believe a bookshop really belongs to the community, it is an extension of our homes, a place to come together, to meet and to share. With this in mind, we have designed the bookshop to accommodate small meetings (like book clubs or writers groups) and small events (poetry readings or book launches).
Children’s Story Time
Are you inspired to instil a love of reading in younger children? We are hoping to set up a regular children’s story time.
If you’re interested in helping us with this, please get in touch!
