October Books.
More than just a bookshop, we’re local, radical and eco-friendly!
All in Events
For an interesting night out, Portswood High Street always delivers. On the evening of Thursday 9th May, amidst the usual fried chicken, hotpot and craft beer, and alongside some mild fisticuffs (not ours) and a Rolls Royce (not ours), October Books hosted a relaxed soirée to launch the shop’s new look.
We were delighted to have Lynne Thmpson join us and she did not disappoint, an expert of her craft she was a joy to listen to.
Shop relaunch, it’s almost here! The team have been busy over the weekend and we are really looking forward to showing you what we have been up to here in the shop.
This week, on Wednesday 8th May we are so excited to have Lynn Thompson joining us for an author talk and book signing.
Coming up next month we have a very special open mic night with our first ever guest poet Rich Lansley!
