    Cute, quaint, quirky, cosy and homely little bookstore-come-cafe (:…read more It's average opening hours are 11-6 during which time you can grab a slice of cake, tea, coffee etc, have a peruse through some books, and chill on their big comfy sofa! I find a lot of coffee places just don't really want you stay and they have hard, uncomfy furniture to reflect that. But not here! This place often has events that extend its opening hours, too. My favourite is the 'big comfy folk club' which are folk and acoustic sessions hosted on the 1st and 3rd Friday of the month. Next one is on 4th March and tickets are only a fiver! Brilliant intimate venue, and the performers usually stick around for a while afterwards which is nice (: OH ALSO, WINE! The big comfy book shop serves alcohol! Live music + book shop + cake + red wine = total winner. See you on the 4th!

    I really like The Big Comfy Bookshop!…read more It is a quant used book shop that is family owned. The owner spent over a year compiling books to open his shop, and ever since has kept a good variety of books that are unique to customers, or a popular search result of a used book. There is always fresh coffee, tea options, beer and wine, and some sort of snacks like crisps or cake for sale. Seating is available to hang out with friends for a little while or to start tucking into your future purchase. Also I noticed that live folk music nights and game nights regularly occur here too! Great place!

    You can come here to have a look at the wedding accessories. However if you are a fan of Bollywood…read moreand you like your music, this shop is just for you. There are also Hindi films on DVD to buy as well. From classics to the latest films, you can buy film soundtracks on CD. I am into my Asian films which is why I spent more time in here than in a Ladies retail clothing shop. The CD's and DVD's are at reasonable prices and they are definitely affordable. I have brought one or two Bollywood film CD's from here and so have my family. I always enjoy coming here and will probably come back for more CD's. I do go to Leicester as well to purchase CD's whenever I am in the city. But this is the closest shop in terms of where I can buy Bollywood films on DVD and tracks on CD. Worth a visit.

    If you're looking for unique or custom-made invitations then it's worth checking out Jaysons. They…read morehave some beautiful designs for various faith groups, which are customised with religious symbols made with plastic, metal or wooden trimmings. They are quite pricey though with the simplest of invites starting at around £1.50 - and I do mean simple! Besides invitations, they sell some wedding accessories like trays and decorative items to compliment certain functions at Asian weddings. These are very pretty but also quite pricey. The shop divides into invitations towards the back and music at the front. The range covers Bollywood, Hindi pop, Pakistani, ghazals, bhangra, religious and soofi music. I was impressed at the box sets of old-school Bollywood music, which make a fantastic gift. The owner, Mr Singh, is very helpful and friendly. If you're looking for a particular album, he'll know straight away where to locate it or whether he could order it for you.
