Heffers has been selling books in Cambridge since 1876 and is part of the fabric of the historic city centre. Now part of the Blackwell's family, we pride ourselves on being a proper bookshop, packed with a vast range of titles from all kinds of subject areas, and with knowledgeable and friendly booksellers who are ready to offer advice and recommendations. We have an expansive secondhand department, crammed with gems just waiting to be discovered. Our children's shop might just be the best in the area, and we welcome much-loved and new authors for signings, storytelling and other activities. Heffers stocks an impressive range of non-book items too, including sheet music, stationery and a fantastic selection of board games - we even run a regular games night called Board Games in the Bookshop. We proudly host a busy and well-regarded schedule of literary events throughout the year, welcoming authors who range from the internationally bestselling to the local debut. Our crime fiction parties are a highlight for many customers - and authors! See heffersbookshop.eventbrite.com for the full list.

Dr Fink...

He's a brilliant inventor.

Unfortunately, he's also spectacularly irresponsible.

After years of experimenting with wacky technology, Dr Fink has invented the Genre-Mashing Vortex – a machine that can open portals to different worlds. The only problem is... it's completely out of control!

Cambridge is about to become MONSTER CENTRAL...Join local illustrator and comic creator Russ Daff to save the city or to make things worse!

Gather in the kids' department at 11am to join in on the monster mashing fun!
