Haymes Bookshop and Emporium

Haymes Bookshop and Emporium is a literary and cultural institution. The Haymes family have been trading books since 1812. Haymes Bookdealers specialise in fine, old, rare and out of print books across most subjects.

Think anything from classical literature, philosophy, the arts, history, vintage children's books to modern thrillers! There is truly something for everyone in this emporium. Don't forget to step through the back room of the shop and you will also find a magical arena with more delights!

Beyond the literary arena, the Emporium offers further delights, including a charming café that features a rare, handcrafted copper espresso machine—an Italian masterpiece that's as beautiful as the coffee it brews.

In the providore section, you'll discover an irresistible selection of local and imported gourmet goods—think artisan cheeses, olives, charcuterie, and handcrafted crackers.

Step outside to the back café deck, a peaceful spot perfect for relaxing with your book or enjoying a exquisite espresso. Just beyond, you'll find a grassed area that's perfect for soaking up the sunshine. You can even spread out a blanket on the grass and unwind with your family and friends.

For your convenience, dedicated car parking is available via the back lane, making it easy to drop in and stay a while.

You are guaranteed to leave Haymes Bookshop and Emporium with a satisfied and enriched body, mind and soul.
