More than just a book shop
BÀRD BOOKS is more than just a bookshop. Alongside the carefully curated bookshelves, it’s a place you can pop in for a coffee or pastry; somewhere to meet friends, make friends, do some work, read a book, write a book, listen to authors, hear some music – just escape. Bookshops are third spaces; “much-loved local haunts that are neither home nor the workplace, but which we rely on for a sense of community and everyday socialising… the lifeblood of our high streets and fundamental to our mental health.” [ROMAN ROAD LDN]. In the evening, the lights dim, and books provide the backdrop for a glass of something deliciously chilled.

![Friday’s got a treat in store for you. It’s gonna be a balmy 32 degrees and we don’t just have @jesscarrivick - hottest with the mostest - AND the “smart and smutty” [Evening Standard] headline act @mcgrath.annie BUT also, the first ever Bàrd Original open mic spot for @kristingriffincomedy_ (aka @k__griffin ). She’ll take it very personally if you’re not there to support her. And laugh. You must laugh.
Tickets as always online. They’re only a fiver. And we have air con. Not that it works that well, but we also have chilled wine and margaritas on tap.
