We’ve got lots of lovely cake, including our newest additions from The Cake House :

🍋 Lemon & Berries
🍫 Chocolate Marble

Come and join us for a chat about books, share your favourite reads and recommendations — plus plenty of other chat, of course!

Rainy day? Even better excuse for cake and a cosy bookish afternoon with great coffee from our new supplier The Last Unicorn Coffee Company. ☔️🍰 ☕️

Don’t forget that Bicester Road into Launton is closed this week. Please take an alternative route via Station Road or Blackthorn Road to West End. ☕️🚗

🌳🌲🌳 TOMBOLA DONATIONS NEEDED! 🌳🌲🌳

Our drop-off point for the tombola for Friends of Island Pond Wood - Launton event in September is looking a little empty! 😢

So please have a rummage through your cupboards 🧐🗄️ and see if there’s anything you could donate to this very worthy cause. 💚

Every little donation helps — thank you! 🥰🌳

🐦 The Launton School Ceramic Bird Art Installation is only with us for a few more weeks! So do pop in and have a look at the wonderful handiwork of the Year 4 pupils, created in collaboration with Pegasus Ceramics🐦✨

And the Funko Pop Pop Figures stall is still in place for any gifts/treats/collectors (all boxed so perfect for gifts) 🎁
