We are hosting an event for Grown-ups - teachers and educators, on Monday, 4th March at 6PM.

It is aimed at teachers and educations, providing a fun event at Red Lion Books after-hours. There will be a shopping discount (on all books, not only those for children) authors, guest speakers and a welcome drink.
