This independent bookshop showcases a carefully chosen selection of books written by women… and there’s cake too.

Collected shines the spotlight on female writers and treats customers to a range of books to thrill, educate, enrage and inspire.

The owner, Emma Hamlett, is a self-proclaimed bookworm and is passionate about introducing people to great reading material. This is an interest shared by the whole team, made evident by the shop’s friendly atmosphere and here-to-help attitude.

You can also buy cake, coffee and other treats to enjoy as you browse or take a reading moment to yourself on one of the wooden pews.
