Bookshop

The Grove Bookshop is one of the North of England’s best-known independent bookshops and has been selling books in the pretty spa town of Ilkley for nearly fifty years.

We are also proud to be the official bookseller for the annual Ilkley Literature Festival, every October.

As an independent bookshop we stock a wide range of titles in just about every genre, as well as local interest books and literary gifts.

Downstairs is our comprehensive travel department, which has a great range of maps, guides, travel writing, and coffee-table books.

We pride ourselves on our gorgeous range of carefully curated titles. From beautiful cloth-bound classics to quirky contemporary editions.

As an independent, we are free to champion independent and small publishers like Fitzcarraldo and Persephone.

Our delivery service is super fast which means anything you order before 4pm will usually* be delivered the following afternoon.

*not including print-on-demand, or difficult to source items, or on Sundays/bank holidays/Christmas.
