40th Birthday Celebrations

Friday 6th December 2024 to Sunday 8th December 2024

Join Steyning Bookshop as they celebrate 40 years since opening!

Sara and Rob opened the shop doors for the very first time on Saturday 8th December 1984. The shop has weathered many storms, from the scrapping of the Net Book Agreement, to the rise of Kindles, online competition, and the pandemic, but has flourished nevertheless! They wouldn’t be there at all if it wasn’t for all their WONDERFUL, loyal customers, so they invite you to celebrate with them on their birthday weekend!

They are starting the celebrations on FRIDAY 6th DECEMBER by staying open late, from 6pm-9pm there’ll be mulled and bubbly drinks, nibbles, 15% off all night, and the chance to jingle, mingle and tingle (with emotion!) and share your memories of the shop with Sara, Rob and Gudrun.

Then on SUNDAY 8th DECEMBER, the shop’s ACTUAL birthday, they will be open from midday until 6pm for the annual street festival that is Christmas in Steyning (previously Steyning Late Night Shopping)

They will have the fab illustrators Sophy Henn, Steven Lenton, Nick Sharratt and Adam Stower doing a Draw-Off in the kitchen at 1pm (buy a ticket separately for this as space is limited) and also signing books from 2pm -3pm

There will also be festive mulled drinks and nibbles from 4pm onwards... and BIRTHDAY CAKE!

They hope to raise a glass with you
