 Our Story

The Imaginarium is a family run bookshop in the heart of the New Forest run by husband and wife duo, Daniel and Robyn. Their aim is to bring together a community of readers, writers and those with a love of stories in the New Forest and wider.

Robyn has always dreamed of opening a bookshop, ever since she discovered the wonderful adventures readers could have within the pages of a book. After working with children, young people and families for most of her career, Robyn has a keen interest in people. With Daniel's retail experience ; and Robyn's passion for all things literature, they decided to follow their dreams. And thus the Imaginarium was born.

Together with the Shop Dog Willow, they hope to be a staple for the book loving residents of the New Forest, bringing a personal touch to the shop and encouraging new readers and writers.
