Come on in.

Shut the door when you can, the wind has a habit of losing my page and there are all sorts of unfixed lists and receipts by the till that want nothing more than to be everywhere.

You’ll find a place for your wet umbrella by the door, leave it there a while, it might make a friend... oh it’s turned inside out? That happens, just let it fly away if it wants.

We are a bookshop and we hope to soon be your favourite place.

We specialise in modern fiction, independent publishers, local authors and beautiful things. We are queer, we are passionate, we are curious and we can never have enough friends.

Waystone Books is a place for conversation, for connection, for coffee, for getting out of the cold. We host clubs and workshops and talks and community events. And of course we sell books. We love books and we love people who love books.

We're your bookshop and we are open late.
