Get ready for another Summer at Prom Park with The Book Hut!

Join us for our grand opening on Saturday 3rd June, where we’ll be celebrating our Book Hut’s third year at the Prom!

This year is a special one for us, as our little bookshop has had a huge makeover behind the scenes, which we’ll be unveiling at the opening.

We’re also thrilled to welcome back Nick Butterworth, author of the Percy the Park Keeper series, to our grand opening too! Nick will be cutting the ribbon from 10am, and signing copies of his book afterwards. Nick’s books will be available to purchase at the event.

At 12pm we’ll be hosting a big Park Picnic at the Book Hut, where we’ll have a story time session for children (and cake too!) We’ll also have lots of lovely goodies to giveaway, including signed Julia Donaldson and Stephen Mangan bookplates kindly donated by Scholastic publishing, as well as a few surprises of our own.

We can’t quite believe this will be our Book Hut’s third year at the park! What started as a lockdown project has since become a huge addition to our bookshop that we look forward to opening every year. We’re committed to offering lower priced books at the Book Hut, free activities and events for everyone, and a place to retreat to when the weather’s nice.

We really hope you’ll celebrate with us, we’d love to see you there!

10am – Ribbon cutting with Nick Butterworth, followed by a book signing

12pm – Park Picnic with Story Time, giveaway goodies and cake!
