For an interesting night out, Portswood High Street always delivers. On the evening of Thursday 9th May, amidst the usual fried chicken, hotpot and craft beer, and alongside some mild fisticuffs (not ours) and a Rolls Royce (not ours), October Books hosted a relaxed soirée to launch the shop’s new look.
