Visitors to Talkin Tarn will be able to pick-up books penned by Cumbrian writers this month. 

Caldew Press, and author Geoff Smith, will be hosting the pop-up bookshop between August 17 and 23 in the Boathouse at the popular walking spot. 

There will be a wide range of books penned by local authors, poets, and artists as well as some written by those from further afield. 

Caldew Press is a small press based in the city that publishes anthologies and collections of poetry, artwork, and prose by local creatives. 

Among its recent publications are Red Kites and Haikus by Geoff Smith, 77 Days in My Head: A mental health journey by Citizen F, and Back and Forth by Tony Hendry.

The pop-up bookshop will be open daily between 10am-4pm and only accepts cash.
