Script Haven

We are the safe space for books and book lovers. We’re a bookshop, cafe, and event hub all in one place.

Predominantly supporting indie authors and publishers, and specialising in esoteric titles and indie-bookshop exclusive and signed editions.

Born from the awareness that all communities need safe spaces, self-published authors struggle to find space in mainstream bookshops, local creatives have few opportunities to display their work, and pre-loved books gather dust in corners, Script Haven offers a home for these treasures. Second-hand books in pristine condition are donated to families and communities, or made available to read in the Book Nook.

With a café on site, people can sit and rest in comfort, with a freely accessible reading shelf to while away the stress of the day. Somewhere where all are welcome, with affordable refreshments or simply a safe quiet corner if that is what is desired.

The shop also plays host to various spoken word events in support of charities, book launches with both local and other prestigious authors, creative workshops – the list is wide and varied.
