Once a year, Bookshops across the UK come together in an annual celebration of independent bookshops, held on the first Saturday of October. Championed by the Booksellers Association, the event celebrates the importance of independent bookshops in local communities and our role in fostering a love for reading. It encourages people to visit their local bookshops, support small businesses, and participate in events like author signings, book launches, readings, and more. We very much hope you will pop in, perhaps joining us for a signing or to tell us what you have been reading, so that we can share the day with you! Afterall, you are our community and we are so grateful for you.

So consider this your invitation to join us at Warwick Books on Saturday, October 12th to celebrate Bookshop Day! We’re excited to host a special book signing event with author Hari Beavis from 11am to 12pm—the perfect chance to meet the writer and get your copy signed. Plus, don’t miss out on our exclusive Bookshop Day tote bag, beautifully designed by the talented Angela Harding, available for purchase on the day. Whether you're here for the books, the tote, or just to soak up the literary atmosphere, we can’t wait to see you!
