Simply Books is an award-winning independent bookshop based in Bramhall, South Manchester. A pillar of the community for over 20 years, we took over earlier in 2024 with some big plans for the place- which are now coming to fruition! We overhauled the entire shop and added in a stunning café, with speciality coffee and gorgeous cake. We've expanded the number of events the shop does, with dozens of book clubs, author evenings, and book signings in the works. From 23rd November, the space will turn into a plush wine bar in the evening, complementing our events and giving you the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine while reading your book!
When our new website is fully complete, we will be the most curated place to shop for books online.
