About Summer Bookshop Crawl

The Summer Bookshop Crawl is like a pub crawl, but with bookshops!

Kicking off Independent Bookshop Week, we're running bookshop crawls in 10 cities across the UK this June. We are encouraging booklovers to visit as many bookshops as they can with friends and family and connect on social media using #SummerBookshopCrawl to share book recommendations and the bookshops they've been visiting. Many bookshops will be offering discounts or perks for bookshop crawlers and it's a great chance to indulge your love of bookshops!

Alongside in person bookshop crawling, we'll also be running a programme of online events including twitter chats, author and bookseller interviews and more.

You can register for the digital Welcome Pack now, which includes everything you'll need to plan a brilliant bookshop crawl weekend, and is available on a pay as you feel basis.
