JOIN Carlisle's Bookends for an evening with comedian, presenter and author Robin Ince as he discusses his new book Bibliomaniac.  

In Autumn 2021, Robin Ince's stadium tour with Professor Brian Cox was postponed due to the pandemic.

Rather than do nothing, he decided he would instead go on a tour of over a hundred bookshops, from Wigtown to Penzance; from Swansea to Margate.

Packed with anecdotes and tall tales, Bibliomaniac follows Robin up and down the country in his quest to discover just why he can never have enough books - subsequently leading to the creation of Bibliomaniac: An Obsessive's Tour of the Bookshops of Britain. 

The co-presenter of the award-winning BBC Radio 4 show and podcast, The Infinite Monkey Cage, will be coming to Bookends' Cakes and Ale Cafe on March 5. 

You can get a copy of the book as well as a ticket, which includes a complimentary drink, for £16.99. Individual tickets are priced at £5.
