Dear Friends,
We were righteously pipped to the post in the regional Independent Bookshop Of The Year award by our friends; the indomitable Bookish in Crickhowell. However, we’ve just seen all the amazing comments you left us (well over 200) and are feeling the love and some. Thank you all!
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)
