about.<\/h2>\n

Backstory is an independent store, what we strive for as a business is not another generic bookshop but somewhere people can go to build community. We host a number of events throughout the week, for people of all ages, looking for somewhere to go and meet new people, discover interests and explore their creativity, whether that be through, reading, writing or crafting.<\/p>\n
