Golden Hare Books

With something on nearly every night, this bookshop is well worth a visit. Rather than linking everything (which would result in the page being beyond long), we've included the link to the bookshop's events page. A small flavour of the events they've put on is as follows:


"Honey & Co. Middle Eastern cookery demo in aid of Legacy of War Foundation"
"Inventing Edward Lear with Sara Lodge"
"Silver Cords: melding stories and music with Beerjacket"
"Marina Benjamin on Insomnia"
