The The Cotswold Book Room in Wotton-under-Edge is celebrating its 75th birthday on Saturday 1 November this year.

To celebrate, we are planning a number of activities that people can get involved with. If you would like to help us get the word out to the people of Gloucestershire, please let us know.

In the weeks running up to 1 November, 75 book tokens of varying amounts, ranging from £2 to £75, will be distributed among the local Wotton businesses. These businesses will be able to choose how a customer can win a book token, and neither the business nor the winner will know how much the token is worth until they bring it to the bookshop.

On the day, anyone coming into the bookshop can expect (free of charge):

Birthday cake.
Late opening, with bubbly, from 5 until 7.
Bookmarks, badges and book merch.
A chance to share what the bookshop means to them, past and present, in a special book.
A party atmosphere!
