Good news! We are chuffed to bits to be selected as South East regional winners in the Independent Bookshop of the Year Awards. P&G Wells is one of just nine bookshops shortlisted for the national award. This reflects the hard work and dedication of the whole team.

Excited that Winchester Bookshop Crawl will be a part of Winchester Books Festival. We will be taking part and have our heads together to think up some fun activities! #bookshopcrawl

We will be closed tomorrow on New Year's Day but reopen as usual on Friday 2nd January. Wishing all our customers a very Happy (& book filled) New Year.

Just one Christmas shopping day left. We are open tomorrow from 9:00am until 4:00pm. There is even a rumour of mince pies.

Due to the rather awful weather we have taken the decision to not open tonight for our late night shopping. Many apologies for this. To say it is 'bucketing it down' would not be an exaggeration!
