The Tale of the Golden Rabbits

Just in time for Easter, there are some golden rabbits hidden around the shop! Can you spot them all?

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

'Peter was not very well during the evening. His mother put him to bed, and made some chamomile tea: "One table-spoonful to be taken at bedtime."' - From The Tale of Peter Rabbit, by Beatrix Potter.

Perhaps Peter has had too much chamomile tea this time, because there are some tiny golden versions of him around the bookshop! Can you spot them all this Easter?

It's best to leave them where they are so our bookseller can catch them later but you can always take a book home with you.

There will be a suggested donation to take part in this event.
