Book Fair

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

Come and celebrate books and reading with us at our Autumn 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.
