The Ritual Year: A New Calendar of Britain’s Feasts, Festivals and Folklore by Kiera Chapman, Lulah Ellender and Rebecca Warren was published last week and is such a beautiful guide to British traditions and rites, both ancient and modern. A really lovely book to dip into at different times of the year, or read from cover to cover. Oh and it has gorgeous illustrations too! ✨

The next drop-in craft session will be from 10am-1pm on Wednesday 26th August - more peg doll pirates and invisible ink maps, plus some mermaids thrown in for good measure! 🧜‍♀️

The next meeting of our friendly, non-party-political Politics & History Book Club will be at 7pm on Tuesday 15th September, in the Hub behind The Bookery (with free tea and coffee as usual).

We'll be discussing Marina Wheeler's A More Perfect Union: The Europe We Need. Marina was Boris Johnson's wife (since divorced) at the time of the Brexit referendum, so would have been at the heart of the debate.
