On November 26 Totally Locally hosted a Civilised Saturday with a pleasant, tranquil shopping experience.

The day had a special focus on hygge – a Danish word that is a feeling or mood that comes taking genuine pleasure in making ordinary, every day things more meaningful, beautiful or special.

Ebb & Flo Bookshop in Gillibrand Street had a Hygge Hideaway, where customers could sit, have some peace, snuggle under a blanket and choose a free book proof.

The shop took 20 per cent off book How to Hygge – in case customers wanted to recreate a hygge experience at home.
