Join us on our home turf and explore the literary delights of historic Canterbury.
Our group bookshop crawl will explore the fantastic bookshops and literary sites of the city, before heading out on a very short bus journey to a gorgeous indie bookshop and cafe on the outskirts of the city. Spend an afternoon exploring and meeting fellow book lovers, learning about the city's literary history and buying books together. As a bonus, many of the bookshops are second hand or charity bookshops, meaning this one is very budget friendly!
If you are travelling in for the bookshop crawl, we will be starting in Canterbury (nearest train stations Canterbury East or Canterbury West) and ending in Sturry (nearest train station Sturry station, or we can return you to Canterbury by bus!).
This is the first of several bookshop crawls we will be running in the city - others will be on different days of the week and weekend so we can suit as many working schedules as we can.
