  • Goodie Bags

Lucky Dip Books

Last year, the lucky dip books were a runaway success, so they’re back, and this year, I’ve added children’s books into the mix.

Priced between £1 and £3, there are some cracking books all wrapped and ready to go!

No clues, you just need to be brace enough to take a chance! You can always pass them on if you hate what you get.

Guess the name of the book

Have a guess at the name of the book from the words in the jar. Correct answers will have the chance to win a pile of proof copies!

Supporting local schools on Bookshop Day

I’m on a mission to help local schools, and I’d love your support!

Join me in paying it forward—if 40 of you contribute, you’ll get to pick a raffle ticket for a chance to win a prize:

  • Extra loyalty points
  • Discount on your next purchase
  • Bookish goodies
  • Proof copies.

For every contribution, I’ll add a World Book Day book.

Hide and seek

This Saturday, you will also see children’s books sneaking into shop windows around Dromore.

Grab an entry form at the shop and let your little bookworm join the fun. All they have to do is spot the book and fill in which shop window they found it in.

They could win a bag of bookish goodies! 

Exclusive tote bags

Designed by Angela Harding, these bookshop exclusive tote bags will also be available.

I hope you come out to visit us this Saturday in Dromore and join in the fun for Bookshop Day.

If you can’t make it out, visit the shop and use code DAY15 to get 15% off must-read books.

Valid until midnight on Sunday.
