Ready to discover the ultimate bookshop indulgence? Here's what you get with your experience.
*Experiences will be £120 after our initial introductory period
Whether you're treating yourself or shopping for someone else, you can buy your voucher online or in-store. An email containing the voucher will be sent to you, so you can select your bookseller.
Select from a list of our most experienced booksellers, each with their own specialisms. Whether you’re a non-fiction reader, looking to broaden your horizons, or wanting to take your contemporary collection to the next level, we’re here to help.
Once you have your voucher, you'll be able to book your slot with your chosen Bibliotherapist. Then all you need to do is turn up and discover your new favourite books.
We’ll get you set up in our cosy book nook and, over a coffee and cake, one of our Bibliotherapists will delve deep into our shelves to curate you a custom collection of books after getting to know you. They’ll then take you through each pick, building you a must-read list made just for you and then you’ll get to decide which ones to take home with you.

Yes! When you redeem your voucher we will let you know a little more about our fantastic booksellers who make up our Bibliotherapy team, so you can get to know them and choose the person most aligned to your tastes. We're also able to pair you up with a Bibliotherapist for you, or recommend who might be the best fit.
Each session varies, based on the person. Typically, sessions last around 75-90 minutes with your Bibliotherapist- but you're welcome to stay in the shop as long as you like afterwards!
Yes, everyone will need to book an appointment in advance but only upon redeeming the voucher- if you're buying as a gift, you don't need to choose a slot for the person as they will get the chance to do that themselves!
Sessions typically take place during the week, at a time between 11-4pm. We also offer some weekend and evening slots, depending on the Bibliotherapist you're after.
That very much depends on you!
As part of your experience, you will get a £50 book voucher to use on the teetering stack of books your Bibliotherapist picks out for you. These will vary in price and they will be able to help you maximise the number of books you get! You're also able to top up any difference yourself, if you really can't choose!
Yes, after 18 months.
This allows us to make sure we aren't holding too many spots for people and preventing others from getting to enjoy the experience. However, if it's simply a matter of scheduling (don't worry, we've been there!) simply reach out and we will extend your voucher for you.
