@gardnersbooks.bsky.social Hi - just checking, is there an issue with the Gardners website just now? It's very slow and all titles are listed as 'awaiting pricing'...

Very excited to be able to announce that our contribution to @minimastersart.bsky.social for Chorlton Arts Festival 2026 @cafchorlton.bsky.social will be in the window of Chorlton Bookshop 📚 @chorltonbookshop.bsky.social 🎉 So proud to return to this prominent location in the heart of Chorlton.

Tonight!

See if you can spot our new 'Little Bit of Politics' section

Now in stock: plan ahead for 2026 with a Ryebank Fields calendar - cash only (£8), with all proceeds going to the Save Ryebank Fields campaign.

We had a visit from the incredible Len Grant this morning.
He has signed a new batch of his latest work:
LEN GRANT'S CHORLTON SKETCHBOOK.
Perfect Christmas present for any Chorlton Resident!!!!

We'll be selling copies of Jonathon Porritt's book at this event at Sandbar Withington on 5 November.

We are very excited this week to be selling signed copies of Len Grant's new Chorlton Sketchbook, and even more excited to be featured in the book itself!
