College Street is closed to traffic today but we are still open (though keeping the doors closed to keep the noise down).
Do come along, we'd love to see you.

Good news! We are chuffed to bits to be selected as South East regional winners in the Independent Bookshop of the Year Awards. P&G Wells is one of just nine bookshops shortlisted for the national award. This reflects the hard work and dedication of the whole team.
