Durham's first independent LGBTQ+ bookshop is set to expand less than a year after opening its doors in the city's Market Hall.
Chris Larmouth and Miles Nelson, the married couple who own BookWyrm, hope that by using a vacant stall that was previously for storage, they will be able to host events with local authors, writing workshops, and run their newly launched online shop. As well as selling books, it will give a space for author-in-residence Miles to write as customers browse.
And the expansion wouldn't have been possible without the reception they've received, with BookWyrm being welcomed wholeheartedly by the residents of Durham and beyond since its opening in July 2022. Co-owner Chris said: "The reaction has been really, really good and we've been quite surprised.
