Named after a cult novel by Walter Moers: The 13.5 lives of Captain Blue Bear, this family-run independent bookshop and café opened in 2019 to great acclaim and was immediately embraced by the town. Visitors love the glamorous 1920s inspired interior, beautifully curated book selection and specialty coffee and cake. The bookshop was conceived as a community hub, and with its excitingly diverse schedule of literary and cultural events, The Blue Bear Bookshop continues to inspire its loyal customers.
