The Story of Books on Castle Street are holding a three day, multi-sensory event, on Thursday 20th, Friday 21st and Saturday 22nd February between 10am and 4pm.
The Story of Books has been involving local people, and the College for the Blind in Hereford, for a long time. The Blind Bookworms jazz musicians provided music at the first staging of Unicorns, Almost, and they've also showcased books in braille at the Wayzgoose celebrations they've hosted.
The three days are each structured around a single book (they haven't mentioned in the WyeLocal which books they are), so each day will be different, and visitors to the shop can stay for as short or as long a time as they like. There will be dramatic readings, multimedia recordings, live music, communal eating, and scent, taste and touch tours. There will be activities for all ages, whether blind, visually impaired or fully sighted - so something for everyone! And it's all free.
And in March, on Saturday 28th, they are holding their fifth Wayzgoose. Ken Burnley of Juniper Press is the guest "Journeyman Compositor" and he will be working a Titan treadle press, with live letterpress printing going on all day.
