I often visit Wetherby and love going into Kemps every time! They have some gorgeous books and some amazing gifts which, include bookmarks, cards and much more. The staff are so friendly and are lovely to have a chat with! I've set them a couple of challenges to find books over the years and they have managed to find them and order them for me every time. If you ever visit Wetherby it is a must to stop by!

Fantastic experience. I ordered a book in the afternoon and collected it from the shop the following day after receiving a text advising that the book was ready to puck up. The shop has a great selection of books, cards and gifts in a smart relaxed atmosphere. The staff are friendly and helpful. 10/10
