Shop:

We are a story destination for all ages in our ‘Apothecary to the Magical’. As you enter you are immediately transported into a world of wonder and enchantment. Warm greetings from friendly shop keepers take you on a tour of wild schemes, mysterious plots and kitchenware.

We have a range of carefully selected diverse books for all ages, as well as story-themed products that will delight and inspire.

You can also shop online, with an option for a local Click and Collect if needed.
