We are open again!

Most of the re-decorating is finished, and we are looking very fresh for Spring. From March we will be OPEN EVERY SATURDAY 10AM-4PM, and we have lots of great bargains in new and second-hand for all ages. New books including some hardbacks are only £2.50, and second-hand ones for only £1.

We also have our usual range of beautiful cards by local artists now only £1, as well as jigsaws, book nook kits, craft kits, posters and other little treasures all now at bargain prices.

We will be running our very popular creative writing classes on the first Saturday of every month from 2 till 4, and on the second Saturday there will be creative writing for young writers too.

Dates for the diary:

Adult Creative Writing, April 5th, 2pm till 4pm


Young Writers Creative Writing, April 12th, 2pm till 4pm.



We will also be re-starting our Friday night book-of-the-month group, beginning with the Booker-prize winner for this year, ORBITAL. Book-of-the-month meeting will be on the second Friday in April, to avoid trying to get together on Good Friday the following week, so Friday 11th April at 7.30 in the shop.

If you would like to order a copy from us you can, but sorry you will only be able to pick it up on a Saturday. Email me if you would like a copy please!



It’s lovely to be back and enjoying the sunny days surrounded by books. Sarah the tortoise has woken up from her hibernation, and is wandering about getting under our feet again very happily. See you all again soon!

Our November Book Club meeting is on Friday 15th November at 7.30PM in the shop

We are discussing the Polish Nobel laureate Olga Tokarczuk‘s novel Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead. It’s a classic murder mystery set in an isolated community in the mountains of the writer’s native Poland. The twist – well, there are plenty of twists – is that the narrator is hard to pin down. She starts telling you something important for the plot, then goes off at a tangent to explain someone’s astrological chart, or to give you a recipe for soup. Murder mystery experts as well as readers of literary fiction will find it a great puzzle to solve, and the landscape is like a character in its own right.

Lots going on in Magpie Books this November!
