Where to Visit - Fred Holdsworth
« Go Back

Fred's Bookshop is staffed by Steve, Sarah, Lesley and David. We are open every day of the year apart from the usual Christmas, Boxing and New Year's Day (although we sometimes open on New Year's Day if the mood takes us).
Although we can't stock every title available (we're only a little shop), we do stock a rich and varied selection of books. We are often complimented on our diverse range; we would rather stock one of nearly everything than keep a 20 strong pile of the latest bestseller. Anything that we don't stock can usually be obtained from our wholesalers within 24 hours. Our strengths lie in a fantastically comprehensive range of local maps, guides and books, an excellent fiction range (including the largest and best Classic fiction section in the region), and a superb childrens/teenage book section. We keep up to date with all the new releases and try to mix up our selection with a few quirky titles along the way.
We have been trading as an independent bookshop for over 50 years and offer a wealth of knowledge and experience to our customers. Whether you are looking for a local walking guide, the latest fiction blockbuster or a book on Buddhism for Sheep (one of our bestsellers!) then pay us a visit.
