We're a non-profit community enterprise located in a heritage building in the heart of Rotherham town centre, 5 minutes' walk from bus, train, and tram-train stations. Run by a group of local artists and curators, we're creating an inspiring space close to local independent cafes and leading culture organisations, with the aim of supporting creatives, freelancers, and remote workers.
Storygames event series, February-March 2022
Storytelling and play are vital to how humans process their experience and create new shared values and ideals. To help people come together within a safe, playful space, and process what we have all been through in our times of isolation and grief, Typeset is hosting a series of three storygame events. Using only pen and paper and dice, visitors will participate in improvised story games, where everyone collaborates to create a storyworld and decide what happens within it.
Books, magazines, and more
We sell new and used books on arts, crafts, and humanities, as well as special selections of fiction curated by local authors. Plus, back issues of arts magazines, vintage patterns for knitting and sewing, and much more.
Limited selection available online at this time. Come down to the shop to browse our remarkable collection of secondhand and out of print editions.
