The Book Spa at Ink & Ember

Where stories soothe the soul, and books are prescribed just for you.

✨ The Experience

Step away from the noise of everyday life and into a world of story and sanctuary.
The Ink & Ember Book Spa is a deeply personal, one-to-one reading experience designed for book lovers who crave something special, an indulgent couple of hours of conversation, discovery, and pure bookish joy.

Settle into our cosy reading nook with a cup of freshly brewed coffee, fragrant tea, or hot chocolate (and yes, a slice of cake too). Your dedicated Book Curator will spend time getting to know you and your reading tastes, moods, favourite authors, and even your guilty pleasures.

From there, you’ll be whisked away on a literary adventure as we reveal a curated stack of 15 books chosen exclusively for you — the ones that will make you fall in love with reading all over again.

📚 What’s Included

• A 45-minute personal book consultation in the Ink & Ember shop, guided by one of our expert curators followed by a 45-60 minute deep-dive into your book selection
• £60 worth of book to take home on the day.
• A £20 voucher to take home as a gift (for further book buying adventures) 
• Complimentary drinks and cake from our café menu
• Surprise bookish gifts to take home, (like a tote, mug, bookmarks) a little token of your visit
• Follow-up recommendations emailed to you afterward so you never forget a title you discussed

💌 Perfect For

• Treating yourself to a moment of calm and discovery
• Gifting to the reader who already “has all the books”
• Celebrating Christmas, birthdays, milestones, or much-needed self-care days
