🚨 SMALL UPDATE 🚨

In a bold step forward, we’re pleased to announce the bookshop is going fully digital.

From April 1st, all books will be replaced with the concept of books.
Simply stand quietly and imagine reading.

We trust this will improve the experience for everyone.

As you were. 📚

Happy April Fools’ Day! 😄 🤪 😝

Happy 40th birthday to my youngest Sam 🍺 🎉

From drinking out of random cans in the garden to still making questionable decisions 😂

So proud of you and can’t wait to celebrate properly over the weekend 🥂

🥞📚 Flipping pancakes, not pages 📚🥞

Who knew Shrove Tuesday could get this literary?
Just another day at The Wadebridge Bookshop — proving once and for all that good stories and good food belong together.

Pop in for:
✨ A proper browse
✨ Friendly faces
✨ Shelves full of stories (sadly no pancakes guaranteed… unless it’s a very good day)

Support your local independent bookshop, where the tales are rich, the welcome is warm, and anything might happen between the stacks.
📍 Wadebridge
❤️ Independent. Local. Slightly eccentric.

💘 Valentine’s Day - 14th February 💘

Roses are red,
The wind’s horizontal,
It’s raining again,
And Valentine’s is… optional.

Skip the overpriced meal, dodge the soggy flowers, and give them something that’ll last longer than the weather forecast.

📚 Books don’t forget anniversaries.
📚 Books don’t mind sand in the pages.
📚 Books are perfectly happy with a pasty and a cuppa.

Pop into The Wadebridge Bookshop for a Valentine that won’t get blown into the Camel Estuary!

🎉📚 Happy 70th Birthday, Rob! 📚🎉

Today we’re celebrating a very special chapter — Rob turns 70!

For years, Rob has been at the heart of The Wadebridge Bookshop: recommending just the right book, championing independent bookselling, and reminding us all how powerful a good story can be.

Whether you’ve shared a chat, discovered a new favourite read, or simply enjoyed browsing the shelves he’s helped shape, Rob has played a part in so many reading lives in Wadebridge and beyond.

Here’s to 70 years, countless books, and a lifetime of stories still to come.

Happy Birthday, Rob — and thank you for everything you do 📖✨

(Feel free to pop in and wish him well if you’re passing today!)

Is it just us, or has January lasted approximately 4–6 business years?

Nearly there now. Books, warmth, and a strong sense of achievement available at Wadebridge Bookshop.

Hang in there 📚❄️
