☕️ BOOK NOOK CAFÉ CLOSING — FRIDAY 18TH SEPTEMBER

After 12 wonderful years, our Book Nook Café will be closing on Friday 18th September. ❤️

Sadly, rising costs mean the café is no longer financially viable. We are incredibly grateful to all our wonderful customers who have supported us, shared a coffee and enjoyed many happy moments with us over the years.

But the good news is… the BOOKSHOP IS THRIVING! 📚🎉

We’re continuing to focus on what we love — books, books and more books!

We have a new self-serve coffee machine (with our original coffee beans), cold drinks in the fridge and biscuits available weekdays from 9am–5pm, and you’re always welcome to grab a drink, find a comfy spot and relax in the bookshop with a good book. ☕️📖❤️

Our community space will also continue to be available for local groups, meetings and community activities.

And don’t worry, our weekly Friday Storytime sessions with Karyn will continue! 📚🐛❤️ We’ll still be gathering together for stories, activities and plenty of bookish fun.

Thank you for being part of our Book Nook Café journey. We hope to see you in the bookshop! ❤️📚
