BOOKSHOP RELOCATION CLOSURE DATES

XMAS & NYE OPENING HOURS 

​

After months of fire-safety renovations it is time for Gay’s the Word to return to our beloved and revamped home at 66 Marchmont Street. 

Our imminent relocation means that the pop-up bookshop at 58-60 Marchmont (from where we have been trading since July) will closed down operations on Monday 15th. The physical bookshop will be totally CLOSED for four days, from Monday 15th to Thursday 18th, reopening back at 66 Marchmont Street at 11am on Friday 19th.
