Late Opening

From parties to games to subscriptions, come and join us for all the general silliness this festive season. Wednesday 12th November – open late (until 6.30ish) in case you need a book before you head to The Mall for the Christmas lights switch-on. Thursday 27th November – party, 18.30-late at The Lansdown. Blind Justice Page playing songs inspired by books. Dressing as your favourite book cover or character encouraged. Advent calendar – first person to buy a book each day gets a free mystery proof. See you in the queue… Sunday silliness, 7th, 14th and 21st December – guess the weight of your shopping. If you’re within a gnat’s crotchet (or 50g) of the correct answer, you get a treat. Dark chocolate buttons supplied by our excellent neighbours, Smaller Footprints. Saturday 13th and 20th December – late night shopping. We’ll be open until 7pm-ish… maybe later, mulled wine depending. Book subscriptions – for those panicked by buying a present for that difficult relative/friend/special pigeon in your life, let us choose. We’ll send a book each month to the recipient. Pick from, ‘The weird and the eerie,’ ‘Nature matters,’ ‘Warm hugs in book form’ or ‘Picture books are for “grown-ups” too.’ Opening hours – Monday-Saturday, 9.30-5.30; Sunday 11-4 as always. Plus the late nights above. We close Christmas and Boxing Day. Back as normal (within the realms of ‘normal’) on 27th.
