CAFE W C

@ WATERSTONES

The Wool Exchange, Hustlergate, Bradford BD1 1BL

waterstones.com

WHAT'S TO SEE & DO...

Bradford must surely lay claim to one of the most the most beautiful bookshops in the country. Set inside the grand gothic-style Wool Exchange building, Bradford Waterstones is a magnificent cathedral of books with huge stone pillars and sweeping archways creating an air of Hogwarts in the centre of Bradford. Indeed, Michael Palin once remarked how it made the Sistine Chapel look like Grimsby bus station.

That might be a little tongue in cheek, but as the former epicentre of Bradford’s wool trade it is suitably lavish. On the first floor mezzanine sits the Waterstones café, selling coffee and cake to accompany you as you merrily thumb through your latest purchase. There really is no better way to unwind on a dreary afternoon.

BEST TIME TO VISIT Put aside an hour or two to relax with a great book on a quiet afternoon.

COOK CLEVER

A big fan of pasta? Put a wooden spoon over the top of a pan to stop the water boiling over.

SHOP WELL Want a cheap shopping trip? Visit supermarkets on a Sunday before closing for the best deals.

REWIRE Are your wires in a jumble? Attach bulldog clips to your desk and hook the wires through for easy finding.

KEEP IT CLEAN Do you want to keep a clean fridge? Just wrap the shelves in cling film and when it gets dirty replace it.

HANG ‘EM UP Need a bigger wardrobe? Use the ring pulls off of drinks cans and attach to hangers to make double hangers.

BUDGET Work out a budget for fresher’s week so that you don’t spend all your money at once.

REFRESH Cut lemon into slices and freeze for refreshing cold drinks.

GET CONNECTED Get the Wi-Fi password to most establishments by checking the comments on Foursquare.
