Book Fair

Calling all book worms! Join us for a book fair at Stowe.

From 24-31 May we encourage you to browse our wide selection of donated books as we expand our displays at New Inn.

Come and celebrate books and reading with us at our Spring Book Fair, showcasing our range of fiction, non-fiction, vintage and collectable books. There will be best-sellers from last year to ones maybe 150 years old; complete sets to signed editions, old favourites to rare volumes.
