A much-loved independent Kenilworth business will be celebrating its 55th anniversary this spring with a special party.

Kenilworth Books, based in Talisman Shopping Centre, has been at the heart of the town since May 1968.

And on Sunday, May 21, the shop will open its doors between 11am and 3pm for a party, complete with face painting, musicians and, in a typically quirky twist, a visit from some friendly alpacas.

The shop was opened first by Norman Stevens, but is now owned and managed by Judy Brook who bought the shop in 2014.
