That’s our way of flagging the places that go further — beyond “dogs allowed”, with a genuinely warm welcome for dogs inside.

Forum Books is an independent bookshop with proper browse-and-linger energy, the kind of place that suits a slower stop between seafront wandering and coffee plans. With shelves shaped around good taste rather than chain-store sameness, it feels thoughtful, local and quietly distinctive. A strong pick for holiday reading, gift hunting or one of those “just popping in” visits that turns into leaving with a stack. It brings that lovely bookshop mood where the pace drops, the outside world softens, and everyone suddenly becomes very decisive about needing another novel.

Dog Policy:

Well behaved dogs are welcome to browse alongside their humans in this lovely independent bookshop. Please keep them close and calm so fellow book lovers can enjoy a peaceful rummage.
