Booths Bookshop complex, Hay-on-Wye

A state of the art boutique 52 seat digital cinema, capable of showing first run Hollywood movies, together with associated foyer, private boxes, balcony lounge, bar servery and WC facilities; within a unique grade II listed stone former warehouse.

A 70 cover licensed cafe with full kitchen facilities was created within a grade II listed former agricultural machinery shop, which forms part of the Richard Booths Bookshop complex in Hay-on-Wye. In 2012 the cafe was awarded the honour of being the BBC’s ‘Olive Magazine’ cafe of the year.

The cafe also incorporates external dining within a ‘secret’ landscaped courtyard, linking the cafe, bookshop, cinema and yoga studio.
