The Seren Christmas Pop-up Shop

Seren will be opening a pop-up shop in Castle Arcade, Cardiff throughout December.
The National Theatre of Wales have very kindly let us invade their shop front at 30 Castle Arcade, for the month of December, while they are busy promoting their latest project, Silly Kings.
In addition to selling great books, we will be hosting many author events with Francesca Rhydderch, Ivy Alvarez, Peter Finch, Phil Cope and David Llewellyn all due to make an appearance – A signed book will make a great present for that special someone.
We will also be giving out a secret daily discount code to be used in the shop, so keep you eyes on our twitter and facebook accounts!
The shop will be open from 30th November, so come and join us for some great author events, offers and a mince pie!
We will be open Monday – Sunday, 10am – 5pm every day up until Christmas.
