ebb & flo bookshop
WHERE
Chorley
What it’s like
A browse-friendly bookshop in Chorley where the shelves, not a screen, do the entertaining.
This is a proper independent bookshop, the sort where you can let a child pick their own picture book off a low shelf without anyone tutting. There's a gift shop bit too, so if the book budget stretches you can pick up a card or a small present while you're there.
Nobody's told us the age range this bookshop pitches itself at, so treat it as a general shop rather than one built around a particular age group. That said, browsing shelves at a slower pace than a supermarket or a big chain store is its own kind of activity for a child who likes books, and it's a good one for a rainy hour in town.
Parking is the easy bit sorted for you. Fleet Street Car Park and West Street Car Park are both nearby and free, and Chorley Council car parks are free for the first hour anyway, or free all day after 1pm on Saturdays, so a quick visit costs you nothing to park for.
