The Reader Cafe is on the move
We're transforming Calderstones Mansion House to create The International Centre for Shared Reading. To allow essential works on the building to get underway, The Reader Cafe will be moving to a new, temporary home in the courtyard next to The Storybarn and The Reader Ice Cream Parlour.
The location may be changing for a while, but customers can expect the same menu, the same prices and the same warm Reader welcome. As we settle in, we'll also be expanding the menu in the coming weeks.
The last day in our current Cafe is Monday 29 January. The cafe will then be closed from Tuesday 30 January to Friday 2 February with reopening set for Saturday 3 February.
And as a special welcome to our new, temporary home, The Reader Cafe will be offering free teas and filter coffees to the first fifty customers in our new home!
Last day: Monday 29 January
Closed: Tuesday 30 January - Friday 2 February
Reopen - Saturday 3 February
