Huckleberry's is our independent Bookshop in Blandford Forum Dorset. We opened in September 2006 and so far, so good.... a year on, feeling older, wiser and quite exhausted at times! I'd like to thank everyone who's been to Huckleberry's and helped to make the business successful - 12 months and we're still here...THANK YOU!! We like to stock Interesting, Unusual Books - Books which make you think, make you want to stop want you're doing, sit down and read them! We've a light, spacious shop with some fantastic original paintings on the walls, classical music playing and books well displayed on reclaimed wooden furniture, made by a local Carpenter, Reg Budd. I work here 3 days a week, as does Jon Roberts and we would love to welcome as many of you as possible to browse around, sit down, have a coffee and enjoy our new shop. We host book signings, art/poetry evenings and are open to any events anyone would like to suggest to us!


My Interests

Huckleberry's run 2 Reading Groups. We meet once a month at the shop at 7pm - 8.30pm. These are on the first Tuesday and Wednesday evening of each month. Both Groups are full at present, but to be put on the waiting list, please call the shop on 01258 458767. Our Children's Club started in July, with the next event on October 6th at 10am - a Monsters & Fairies Morning. Please telephone us for further details.
