Autumn Book Fair

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

From 24 October - 2 November 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 Autumn Book Fair in the Bennett Room, just off the Visitor Centre, showcasing our range of fiction, non-fiction, vintage and collectable books.
