Porty Books 3rd Birthday Party!
On:21st July 2022, 6:30pm - 8:30pm
We're somehow 3 years old already, and after a first couple of years where a shop party seemed impossible, we thought this year we'd finally have a get together to celebrate another lovely year of bookselling.
Join us on Thursday 21st July (3 days before our official birthday on 24th July) for an evening of books, drinks, music and fellow local businesses celebrating along with us! Your free pass allows you entry to our late night evening anytime between 6.30-8.30pm.
We've invited along some of the local businesses we're working with on our new subscription box service, Porty by Post, to set up stalls and talk about their beautiful, unique products so we can share our love for their shops with our customers. Benjamin from Rafikï coffee, who are based at Tanifiki coffee shop right next to us will be there, as will Jana from Dook soap, just down the road. We'll also be joined by the fab people from Summer Morning Studios, whose candles will be featured in our October subscription boxes. They'll be chatting about their great products throughout the evening.
All books across the shop will be 10% off for the whole evening and we'll have a raffle with the chance to win one of our subscription boxes. We'll be serving free drinks and have also got a literary themed playlist cued up. We can't wait to spend the night in the company of our wonderful customers and friends of the shop, so if you'd like to join us please sign up for a free pass using the ticket option above!
We hope to see you there! If you get a ticket but later find that you're unable to attend, please let us know so we can offer your ticket to someone else.
Please note: Tickets for our events are non-refundable. Professional photography and videography may take place during this event. Thank you for your understanding.

Wheelchair Access
We have a ramp at the front of the shop which has a ratio of 1:10 and loading capacity of 300kg, and so should be able to be used by most wheelchair users or those with mobility vehicles. The front doors are fully automated. Our shop interior is designed to allow access throughout for wheelchair users and prams, though please note there is only 700mm wide clearance to access the staff toilet.
Sound
We use a PA system to enhance the audio at our live events. We also have a hearing loop system installed, if you’d like to use our loop system during an event please let us know and we’ll make sure we have it set up and connected to the live audio feed during the event. If you wish to attend an event and require BSL interpretation, please give us a few weeks notice and we’ll do our best to arrange an interpreter.
