Books at The Dragon’s Garden is an independent bookshop and creative space in the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, bringing together a carefully curated selection of books alongside a programme of literary events and gatherings.

The shop is rooted in a strong connection to nature, place and storytelling, with shelves that reflect both contemporary writing and deeper themes around landscape, environment and creative practice. It’s a space designed for browsing and discovery, where visitors can take time to explore titles that feel considered and relevant to the setting.

Alongside the bookshop, The Dragon’s Garden hosts events that bring writers, readers and ideas together. At the centre of this is the Reading the Wild Literary Festival, which celebrates writing inspired by nature, place and the natural world. The wider events programme includes talks, readings and workshops, creating opportunities to engage more deeply with literature and the landscape that surrounds it.

The space works as both a bookshop and a meeting point, offering something slightly different from a traditional retail experience. It appeals to those with an interest in literature, creativity and the natural environment, as well as visitors looking to connect more meaningfully with the area.

Located within the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, Books at The Dragon’s Garden provides a thoughtful and welcoming place to visit, whether browsing for a book or attending one of its events. Details of opening times, events and the Reading the Wild Literary Festival are available through the website.
