Events

We run lots of fantastic events throughout the year in both of our shops.

Our shops are perfect for: book signings, book launches, poetry readings, literature recitals, children’s book readings and anything else you can think of!

You will also find us selling books at local book festivals, theatres, schools and the fabulous Stamford Arts Centre.

We also run our own, ‘Walkers Bookshop Events’, bringing in some of the biggest and best authors in the country to some of our fantastic local venues.

Everything that we do is listed here, so do pop back and see what is new!
