Bookshop Day is an annual, one day celebration of all high street bookshops. Approximately 1000 UK retailers, both independents and branches of chain bookshops, participate. Bookshop Day aims to celebrate bookshops - their contribution to our communities as well as the service they provide for their customers - and to encourage people to start their Christmas book-shopping early, on their high street, with their local bookshop; to “choose bookshops”. The campaign launched in 2013 and falls on the second Saturday in October. Bookshop Day 2025 takes place this year on Saturday 11th October.
