Our evening book groups are hugely popular, but not everyone can commit to the same time each month or wants to go out in the evening. So we've launched a daytime book group during bookshop opening hours.

They're a chance for local people to get together, talk about books and to read outside of their typical reading lists and genres. Our booksellers will facilitate a discussion and ensure everyone gets a say.

In September we'll be reading Universality by Natasha Brown.

A twisty, slippery descent into the rhetoric of truth and power

‘Remember – words are your weapons, they’re your tools, your currency.’

Late one night on a Yorkshire farm, a man is brutally bludgeoned with a solid gold bar.

A plucky young journalist sets out to uncover the truth surrounding the attack, connecting the dots between an amoral banker landlord, an iconoclastic columnist, and a radical anarchist movement. She solves the mystery, but her viral longread exposé raises more questions than it answers.

Through a voyeuristic lens, Universality focuses on words: what we say, how we say it, and what we really mean.

You can purchase the book separately at the bookshop if you wish to do so.

NB: We apologise for the inconvenience but our bookshop is currently not wheelchair accessible.

The toilets are located on the ground floor.

The event space/bookroom café is located at the top of a staircase (17 steps).

Please do get in touch if you’d like to know more details to plan your visit ahead.
