Extremely pleased to be shortlisted for Independent Bookshop Of The Year!

Please feel free to tell the judges why we should win HERE!

 

 

 

Firstly, thank you for all your continued support. It was a bit touch-and-go when we had to close for 10-odd weeks, but since re-opening, you’ve flocked in your droves, sales are up, and we’re in pretty good shape for the new year.

We took the opportunity to have a re-fit, and now have a greatly expanded children’s area, some book tables, and a cleaner, more spacious aesthetic.

We’ve almost completed the fine-tuning of layout, decor etc. and are pleased to announce an exciting programme of events for the coming months.

Highlights include:

Jeff Towns in conversation with Andrew Green on Edward Thomas & Wales (Thursday 21st Feb. Mumbles Tabernacle)
Matt Pritchard: Dirty Vegan (Thursday March 28th. Exist Skatepark)
Lisa Tippings: Secret Swansea (Sat 23rd Feb. In shop)
Geoff Brookes: In Knives We Trust (Sat March 2nd. In shop).
