Pick up a pre-Christmas bargain at book fair in Wimborne

Wimborne’s Museum of East Dorset is holding a book fair to help clear out its shelves of donated pre-loved books.

If you’re looking for a Christmas gift for the book lover or puzzle fan in your life, then head to Wimborne Minster for an upcoming book fair.

The Museum of East Dorset’s second-hand bookshop is hosting the Grand Book Fair on Friday and Saturday 14 and 15 November from 10am to 4pm. Admission is free, and the entrance to the fair is via the Museum main entrance on Wimborne High Street.

Thanks to a generous wave of donated books, the shelves are packed with pre-loved treasures just waiting to be discovered. Whether you’re hunting for gripping fiction, enlightening non-fiction, or nostalgic hardbacks and paperbacks, there is something for every reader. And for those who love a challenge, a selection of jigsaw puzzles will also be available.

Every purchase directly supports the museum and its vital heritage work.
