Once Upon a Time
There was a bookshop in the beautiful Market Town of Pickering, North Yorkshire…
Nestled in the heart of the Market Place, the old building with an upstairs space framed by original oak beams is the perfect place to discover your next read in a calm and welcoming environment.
Community is important to us, and we host regular events in the warm and atmospheric upstairs space. Having a positive impact both locally and globally —in our small way — is at the heart of what we do!
