The Bookshop By The Sea

It all begins with a dream. Maybe you have a similar one, to start a little bookshop, in a small town by the sea and fill it with beautiful books, tea and conversation.

We are The Bookshop by the Sea, a community-focused bookshop with a mind to bring creatives of all kinds together and offer access to creative writing classes, poetry evenings, live music, children's story times, author talks, art workshops with local artists and more. So far we have reached hundreds as they attend our events! We love building community please say hello! ~ Freya and the bookshop team.
