Hi everyone!

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has followed us over the past week. It’s been incredible to see so many new faces joining our community.

Following People of Prints call-out for makers, we’ve had hundreds of applications to sell in the store! 🤯 Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to apply. I’ll be working through every submission over the next few days and will be in touch via email, so please bear with me.

Now that the renovation is (finally!) almost complete, we’re starting to fill the calendar with loads of exciting workshops, creative events and community gatherings. Keep an eye on our website and Instagram because there’s lots to come…

And if you’ve been thinking about hosting a workshop, talk, creative session or community event in our space, we’d absolutely love to hear from you. Just get in touch!

Thanks again for all the support, it genuinely means the world. We’re only just getting started! 💛

(PS sorry for the constant hair twirling, I’m still practicing speaking on camera 🙈)

We’ve got Jude’s book swap box set up in store now - come and take a book, leave a book or both.. 💜
Jude and the Book Factory was the imaginative idea of Jude. He started the Book Factory when he was just four years old and his idea was simple; get books to children. He started by hiding his own books for others to find. Head to to read more and find out how you and your little one can get involved with the book factory mission 💜
