27th October 2026

  • We are pleased to announce that you will have not one but TWO opportunities to grab the long awaited 6th book in the ACOTAR series.

    We are going to be doing a MIDNIGHT DROP for all of the night owls who just can't wait (so you will literally be able to get the book as the 26th becomes the 27th). And a BREAKFAST DROP for all of the early birds who would rather start their day with a fresh Romantasy adventure (at 7:00 am on the 27th well before Amazon can deliver it to you).

    There are different ticket types available depending on the type of experience you want to have with your newly acquired book. Please make sure that you pick the right ticket for you.

    Tickets are on a strictly first-come first-served basis and are non-refundable.

    Event Details

    Strictly over 18's only.

Chris Moss Book Signing - 28th August

Join us at Thistle & Thorn on Thursday 27th August at 7pm for a very special evening with Lancashire-born author and Guardian travel writer Chris Moss. Chris will be talking about his two latest books — Lancashire: Exploring the Historic County that Made the Modern World, a rich rediscovery of the county he left almost four decades ago, and Where Tourists Seldom Tread: Postcards from Bypassed Britain, his witty, warm-hearted tribute to the underappreciated corners of the UK that most of us drive straight past. Expect stories of cotton mills and canals, forgotten viaducts and overlooked high streets, and a genuinely fresh way of looking at the places on our own doorstep. Chris will be signing copies of both titles on the night, so grab a glass of something, settle in, and come hear a proper homegrown storyteller talk about the county — and the country — we thought we knew. Tickets are limited, so book yours today to guarantee your seat.

Fascinating Fungi with Ade Rose - 13th August

Get ready to see the world beneath your feet in a whole new light. Ade Rose of The Pendle Mushroom Company joins us for Fascinating Fungi, a talk from one of the North West's leading foraging and fungi experts. An Advanced Master Medicinal Herbalist with a Diploma in Mycology and over 37 years sharing his knowledge on TV, radio and in print, Ade grows gourmet mushrooms and crafts dual-extraction tinctures at his lab in the Forest of Bowland, right here on our Lancashire doorstep. Expect a genuinely eye-opening evening covering the science, folklore and hidden health benefits of fungi, from how mushrooms have quietly shaped the natural world to what they can do for body and mind — all delivered with the warmth and enthusiasm that's made Ade a familiar voice across the region. Whether you're a curious beginner or a seasoned forager, come along for an evening that will change the way you look at your next woodland walk. Spaces are limited, so book your ticket soon.
