A Royal Visit – Friday 16th February

ROYAL VISIT CROPWe were lucky enough to be treated to a royal visit form HRH the Duchess of Cornwall. Her Royal Highness was visiting the Piece Hall with HRH Prince Charles. The Duchess is Patron of the National Literacy Trust, Book Trust, First Story and Beanstalk, all of which help to promote literacy in young people. So we were very honoured that she specifically requested to visit our book shop.
