Readers Retreat

Our bookshop stocks an eclectic range of new and used books. Not only are local authors a feature, but a range of the latest fiction, non-fiction, classics, young adult and children’s books are available for purchase. We also stock beautiful stationery, gifts, cards and a selection of art works.

We will offer small group face-to-face writing workshops delivered from our cosy writing room. Unleash your imagination through creative writing sessions, learn the secrets of self-publishing, explore tips and tricks for writing about your family history and master the art of clear writing. Workshops for children and young adults will also be offered. Connect with fellow writers, share experiences, and refine your craft in an inspiring community.

Readers Retreat acknowledges the Worimi Nation as the traditional custodians of the lands on which this enterprise is based and we pay our respects to ancestors and Elders, past and present. Readers Retreat is a social enterprise merging our love for books with a commitment to a sustainable future. Embracing the principles of the circular economy, we aim to inspire a community of readers and writers while contributing positively to the environment.
