Shop Re-opening on 3 March, after Working Sabbatical
We are very happy with Much Ado’s premises. But like any new home owner, after a year we’ve begun to see ways we can improve on things.
So we’ve closed for a working sabbatical from 16 January, re-opening 3 March. We’ll be tinkering with sections, shifting some bookcases, finishing off some of the left-over construction bits and pieces, and planning other ways to make Much Ado a better shop.
You can read about some of our improvements, and how you can help with developments, by clicking here.
We won’t be far from e-mail or phone, so if you have a book emergency or need to consult us for whatever reason, please do get in touch.
And to keep up with developments, sign up to receive our e-newsletter – just click here.
Need Books?
We have made special arrangements so you can still order books from us while we’re closed.
Simply e-mail us the in-print book you need, along with the address for delivery, and we’ll calculate postage charges. You can pay with either MasterCard or Visa, or via PayPal.
This quick, easy service will get the book to your door painlessly. And if there is demand for it, we will develop the system to make it even easier!
Directions
Alfriston is a beautiful South Downs village, located just moments from the A27 between Lewes and Eastbourne in East Sussex.
In your Car
From the main road, turn south at the roundabout near Drusillas Zoo. Driving into the village, you’ll first come to a handy Pay and Display parking lot. But there is also a free car park; keep driving on and, at the Market Square, turn sharply right and sharply right again. (You’ll see Much Ado at this point, next to the Smuggler’s Inne). The entrance to the free lot is just a hundred yards down the road, on your right.
If you use an internet map system, our post code is BN26 5UX.
Public Transport
Trains from London stop at Berwick and at Polegate. Berwick has fewer trains stopping, and has no facility for taxis – but walkers can reach Alfriston in less than an hour. Polegate is further away, but more trains stop there and the station usually hosts a number of taxis.
Trains from Brighton stop at Seaford, and taxis are usually available.
Buses come to Alfriston more rarely. Click here to view a site that incorporates schedules for busses from several places.
We are very fortunate that the award-winning Cuckmere Community Bus, run by volunteers, runs on most weekends. You can consult their schedule by clicking here.
