Good range of books, stationery, art accessories and other things for gifts. Reasonably priced. You can also click and collect if you see something on their website.

Love the place.They seem to have changed the books that used to be on the back and put an education section there.I loved the books that used to be there,mostly things such as Victorian history and war time recipe books .I wish they had been relocated in the shop.
