About Bear Bookshop

Bear Bookshop was founded by Jenny, a mother of 3 young children, and a teacher of 15 years.  She had long dreamed of opening her own bookshop, the type of shop she wanted to  use with her own family.  And so she opened Bear Bookshop in November 2020 - during a pandemic!

Bear Bookshop quickly became an integral part of the Bearwood community, providing a much needed alternative to the impersonal, online shopping experience people had become used to during the pandemic.  Jenny has always strived to ensure the shop is accessible to all and serves the needs of local people.  

Bear Bookshop is a safe, creative, calm space in the heart of Bearwood.   Everyone is welcome and there is ALWAYS something interesting to do.
