The Book Hive
WHERE
Norwich
What it’s like
A Norwich bookshop that also hosts talks and author events, open long hours seven days a week.
This is a bookshop first, with author talks and events layered on top. The shelves are the main event on an ordinary visit: browsing, picking something out, the usual bookshop business of taking your time over it.
The hours are generous for a shop like this. Monday it's 10am to 5pm, Tuesday to Saturday it stretches to 9.30am to 5.30pm, and even Sunday gets 11am to 4pm, so there's rarely a bad time to duck in. That Sunday opening is the one that's easy to forget about and handy when everywhere else in town has shut early.
Author events and talks run alongside the shop, which is the bit that turns a browse into an actual outing if there's something on. It reads as a good stop to fold into a wider day in the city rather than the whole plan on its own.
