The path has a slight incline to get up to the house from the car park. The courtyard has bumpy cobbles, and the bookshop has a small step up. The room can be cold, and we'll be sitting in a circle on blankets, but there will be some chairs available. The space is not particularly noisy, and is reasonably light.

- Suitability for children
This is aimed at under-5s and their grown-ups.
- What to bring and wear
Dress for the weather. The second-hand bookshop is not that warm.
- Other
This is not suitable for dogs other than assistance dogs. This is indoors in the second-hand bookshop. You're welcome to stay afterwards for a chat, or to browse the bookshop.
