"THE BOOK OF THE MIGHTY BOOSH" SIGNING - 6th DECEMBER
Christmas comes very slightly early for fans of the Zooniverse this year, as we welcome Noel Fielding and Julian Barrett to the store, taking a break from their national tour to sign their fabulous new book.
We've plenty of activities planned to celebrate the big event, including a Cheekbone Magazine catwalk for the best Boosh fancy dress, a bouncy castle and a crimp off. Keep checking up here for more details.
**UPDATE** The reservation list is now closed. If you have left contact details with us, we will be in touch with you soon with more details on how to get your book signed on the day. If you are not on our list, but would like to be kept informed about the event, you can email Dom Egan at the address below or call the store on 0161 833 0208 to be added to our information list.
