Exciting Transformations at Griffin Books!

Back in May, we took a huge step forward by expanding into the neighbouring unit to create our brand-new Children’s and Teen department. The response so far has been amazing – thank you to everyone who has popped in to explore the new space.

Now it’s time for the next stage in our transformation: the long-awaited knock-through to connect the two spaces internally! This means that very soon, you’ll be able to wander seamlessly between the main shop and the Children’s & Teen department, creating a brighter, more spacious, and altogether more bookish experience.

What this means for you

From Monday 15 to Tuesday 23 September (inclusive), there will be some temporary changes while the builders are at work. The shop will remain open throughout this time, but browsing will be limited during this period.

Don’t worry – you won’t be without books! Our friendly team will be based at the entrance to the original shop (next to Windsor Arcade) and will be ready to help with everything you need, including:

  • placing and collecting orders

  • personalised book recommendations

  • buying event tickets

  • general bookish chat!

How to order during this time

To make things as smooth as possible, we encourage you to place orders in advance of travelling to the shop. You can do this in the usual ways:

Please remember to wait for your collection notification before coming in to pick up your books.

Thank you for your patience

We know that building work isn’t always fun, but we promise it will all be worth it once the dust has settled. Thank you in advance for bearing with us – and for continuing to support your local independent bookshop.

We can’t wait to welcome you back into the fully connected shop very soon. Watch this space for updates and sneak peeks as the work progresses!
