To celebrate the launch of the brand new edition of Lonely Planet’s internationally bestselling landmark title, The Travel Book, for a limited time, Lonely Planet is enabling people to get a taste of the world a little closer to home. The exhibition features a collection of stunning photographs from around the world, all featured in The Travel Book – and all guaranteed to fill you with wanderlust.

What’s more, you can flex your creativity with a giant colouring wall; grab a bargain among the selection of Lonely Planet books for sale, or join the array of events taking place across the weekends.

For one weekend only (Saturday 19th and Sun 20th November) Lonely Planet Kids will be taking over, with a whole host of child-friendly travel workshops and activities to keep little ones entertained, so why not bring the whole family?
