Anyone left this little guy in our bookshop in the last couple of weeks? They've been hiding out next to a big pile of books, but is definitely missing their family now!

We celebrate Hay Festival Winter Weekend 2022 from today until Sunday 27th!

We have a sale on our stock of New Hardback Fiction for the running of the festival, so it’s a good time to get those latest fiction publications at 20% off.

Good news for fans of Claire Keegan, 'Small Things Like These', short listed for The Booker Prize, but also the film 'The Quiet Girl' (based on her book 'Foster') also came out earlier this year.

'The Quiet Girl' is being shown at our cinema this weekend:
