We are CLOSED

The Secondhand Bookshop at Hestercombe is full of discoveries

The Second­hand Bookshop

The Bookshop is moving to a new location in the Visitor's Centre, next to the ticket office, plant sales and restaurant. The shop will be closed between Monday 21st April and Thursday 24th April while we relocate. The best bit... you will no longer need to pay garden admission to shop!

A book lover’s paradise,­ the Second­hand Bookshop lends itself to some serious browsing. With a wide selection of categories available covering gardening, travel, fiction, children’s, cookery, specialist titles and more, there’s something for everyone.



Making a book donation

The Book Shop is stocked by book donations and run by a fantastic team of volunteers, meaning all proceeds raised go directly to the Hestercombe Gardens Trust. These proceeds help us to continue with the maintenance, restoration and development of Hestercombe.

When making a donation, please bring your books in bags which you are happy to not be returned.
