Friendly Ethical Shopping at the Centre

More than a Bookshop

Singing bowls, Buddha figures, books and incense are probably our best-sellers but we have quite a lot more than that. Tibetan prayer flags; mala beads; unpackaged greeting cards; a comprehensive range of books on Buddhism and meditation; scented soap; cotton-covered meditation cushions filled with environmentally–friendly buckwheat husks . . . you’d really need to come and look!. We do our best to source goods produced ethically and by small businesses.

Drop in and browse

Our reception and shop are open on some Sundays in the festive period – 1st, 8th, 15th and 22nd December – as well as our usual hours. We welcome visitors and encourage you to try out the cushions for just the right size and the singing bowls for just the right tone. Friendly volunteers are on hand with information and recommendations if you need them, We have a craft stall from 21st November for a month or so, and we love it when visitors try on the hats and scarves there too!

Linger as long as you like around our second hand book shelves and make yourself a cup of tea if you like. All shop sales go towards the upkeep of the Centre but selling stuff isn’t really why we’re here!
