Newcastle, it’s time to close our chapter. 💚

Our Newcastle store has been sold, and our Closing Down Sale is now on, with HALF PRICE on all books in-store while stock lasts (Newcastle store only, in-store purchases only).

Our final trading day will be Saturday, 8 August.

You can continue to place online orders for FREE in-store pickup at Newcastle until Wednesday, 29 July.

We’d love to welcome you into the store one last time before we say goodbye.

While our Newcastle store is closing, Book Grocer isn’t going anywhere. You can continue shopping thousands of great value books online, with new arrivals added every week.

Thank you for being part of our story, Newcastle 📚💚
