Newent is soon to have a new and independent bookshop, focused on talented local and self-published authors, as well as affordable second-hand books and new books.

Everyone welcome. Do come along to the first day of opening (from noon) on Saturday 18th October.

Toadstools will be in the cosy building vacated by the Board Game Museum, which has moved to larger premises just the other side of the Shambles’ cobbled courtyard.

More news available on Toadstools Bookshop’s Facebook page and www.toadstoolsbookshop.co.uk.
