Fancy a brew and a browse through some books? Join us on Saturday 23rd May for a second hand book sale packed with great reads, hidden gems, and pop-up café with plenty of tea, coffee and cake.

Browse a wide range of:

Then settle down in our pop-up café and enjoy a hot drink and cake in the Museum courtyard— perfect for a relaxed catch-up or a simply little treat.
