CALLING all bibliophiles, puzzle enthusiasts, and curious minds — mark your calendars for a literary treat in the heart of Wimborne Minster.

The Museum of East Dorset’s beloved second-hand bookshop is hosting a Grand Book Fair on November 14 and 15 from 10am to 4pm in the museum.

Admission is free and the atmosphere promises to be as welcoming as the pages of a well-loved novel. Entrance to the fair is via the Museum main entrance on Wimborne High Street.

Following a generous wave of donated books, the shelves are brimming with pre-loved treasures just waiting to be discovered.

A museum spokesperson said: “Whether you’re hunting for gripping fiction, enlightening non-fiction, or nostalgic hardbacks and paperbacks, there’s something for every reader. And for those who love a good challenge, a delightful selection of jigsaws will also be available.“

Every purchase directly supports the Museum of East Dorset, helping preserve local heritage and keep the museum thriving as a cherished charitable organisation.

Organisers added: “So come along, browse to your heart’s content, and leave with a bag full of stories—and the satisfaction of supporting a good cause.“
