On Monday 8th March 2021, we will be upgrading to a new online catalogue. This means that this catalogue will be unavailable for over 24 hours, while we migrate our data to the new wbesite. Access to the Europresse database will be unavailable for an additional 24 hours but should resume by 11th March at the latest.
Please bear with us as we bring you a brand new, user-friendly online catalogue !
In line with the latest government guidance and with safety in mind, our Click & Collect service has been suspended until further notice.
We aim to reopen as soon as possible, when it is safe to do so.
You may hold on to your documents until we reopen.
