Well every small town needs one........but (so far), only Bishops Castle has one! If you are feeling blue, sad or distressed, pop into the Poetry Pharmacy to find a remedy. The brainchild of Deborah Alma, the ‘Emergency Poet’, the pharmacy opened in 2019 dispensing all manner of literary embrocations. All this plus the most delicious coffee. Pop in and treat yourself to some poetical perfumes! Excellent gift to those ‘hard to buy for’ friends!! On a more serious note, check out their website for literary events, maybe even another holiday to bring you back to this wonderful place!

Unique book and gift shop, right opposite the town hall in BC, full of interesting things. it is arranged on the principle of ailments which can be treated with sled help books, poetry, mugs, bottles of 'pills' which contain inspiring quotes. You can eat in the cafe too.

Joe, a guest of the cottage in autumn 2022 recommends the following: “ Bishops Castle is a lovely quirky place and the poetry pharmacy is a very unique shop. Soothing atmosphere as it's very relaxing and they have a fantastic array of poetry books. Coffee is exquisite!”.
