Worth It
Saturday 19 September has the strongest overlap with the watermill celebration, apple tasting and industrial heritage tour.
Acorn Bank hosts a pop-up Vintage Book Sale on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 September 2026, from 10.30am to 4.30pm.
The National Trust says the selection ranges from historical fiction to early editions. Stock will change as books sell, so no particular title or edition should be treated as guaranteed.
Price and booking
Booking is not needed. The book sale is free to browse, although normal Acorn Bank admission applies.
