World Book Day

Do you love to read on holiday? Is your book one of the first things you pack for your weekend break away?

If you are like me, then the answer is YES to both these questions, and you will definitely want to know where to go to find your next read whilst on holiday at Toppesfield Hall!

World Book Day Quote

For some; reading is an everyday occurrence. This is quite often at bed time; as its the only time when the children are in bed, the dogs have settled down and you get five minutes peace. I don’t know about you, but if I try to read at any other time, I will often get interrupted by a knock at the door or one of the children calling me to help with something, and I end up reading the same sentence about twenty times.

So, when I go on holiday, I love nothing more than to sit and read for a good hour uninterrupted. This is my little slice of heaven!

If you are like me, then you will definitely want to bring a book away with you. Maybe you are already in the middle of one? So, if you don’t pack anything else, make sure this is in your suitcase!!

What if you haven’t yet started a book?

I have the perfect place for you to go and choose your next indulgence!!!

Harris & Harris Book Shop is located in the village of Clare, Suffolk (which you can drive to in just 15mins). You can park in Castle Park (this is a really good place to take a stroll or walk the dog whilst you are there). And oh my god, you will be absolutely blown away with the choice of books when you enter the shop!! You are sure to find exactly what you are looking for, even if you didn’t know what that was when you first entered.

Harris & Harris Books

Where did it all begin?

“The story of Harris & Harris Books started with a chance encounter with William Shakespeare, soon after Kate Harris moved to Suffolk in December 2010.

The Staffordshire figure was spotted in an antique shop in Clare, where the owner overheard Kate’s mother tell her that she would buy it for her but that she must open her own bookshop one day. The antique dealer mentioned that there might be a vacant shop soon, and there started an unexpected series of events that led to the grand opening nine months later. He has quietly watched over proceedings ever since”

Grab a Cuppa & Relax

So now that you have your favourite book ready to read; curl up on the sofa, lay out in the garden, prop yourself up in bed; whatever is your preferred place to be; just sit back, relax and read.
