Keeping Cosy at Barter Books

BANG ON

We have now entered a period of non-time. The norms of the before or future time do not apply here. Nobody knows what day it is, what’s expected of them, what life was like before. There’s only now, and who honestly wants to hear about yet another exhibition?

So, we took ourselves to the most wholesome bookshop and give you something to listen to while cosied up by the fireplace, whether IRL or via Netflix’s show “Fireplace for your Home” 🔥

Here's the lowdown:

Barter Books is a second-hand bookshop in the historic English market town of Alnwick, Northumberland, owned and run by Stuart and Mary Manley. It has over 350,000 visitors a year, 40% of whom are from outside the area, and is one of the largest second-hand bookshops in Europe. It is considered a local tourist attraction and has been described as "the British Library of second-hand bookshops."

🎙 We’re Short Supply and this is BANG ON THE MOVE - the series for our podcast BANG ON where we visit a show and invite you to the pub chat afterwards.

In this series, we are out of the studio, visiting exhibitions and events across the UK, and letting you know what we make of them.

Yep, you might say this podcast is BANG ON - let's get stuck in!!!
