Life at Gnash is very much full on and we have packed October with workshops, events, and brilliant offers to celebrate 10 years of being open and surviving recessions pandemics and everything else that has been thrown at us over the years. They say running a bookshop is an an act of love and we certainly wouldn’t have survived without so much support from customers and creators alike. So come and help us celebrate on Bookshop Day Saturday 8 October!
Saturday October 8
is Bookshop Day & launch day for our free £5 book token when you spend £25 in store. The £5 book token is valid for any book at Gnash or in any bookshop that takes book tokens. Use it for yourself or to get that bookish Christmas Present for family or friends. This offer will run until we run out of £5 book tokens! We have a limited number of special bags to give free to our first 5 customers spending £30 or more. That’s as long as Blue hasn’t grabbed them all already!
