Another independent bookshop to open in Bristol
A new independent bookshop will open in Wapping Wharf this summer.
bookhaus: will be owned and run by experienced booksellers Jayne Pascoe and Kevin Ramage. It will open in a triple-unit on the ground floor of Hope Quay along Rope Walk.
Pascoe and Ramage have already set up the award-winning Watermill Bookshop in Perthshire in Scotland and Grove Bookshop in Ilkley, West Yorkshire.

At the end of 2020, the pair also bought long-established Lyme Regis Bookshop in Dorset, which they refurbished during lockdown.
Their latest endeavour, bookhaus:, will be another string to their bow. The duo plan to stock a range of contemporary, global literature and host events such as book groups, book launches and author readings.
The store will also stock books on history, science and current affairs, with Ramage saying that they are the “books that address the burning questions of today’s world”.

Managed by Darran McLaughlin (formerly the Labour council candidate for Bishopston & Ashley Down ward before being suspended), bookhaus: is also seeking full- and part-time staff.
“We are over the moon to welcome bookhaus: to the Wapping Wharf neighbourhood,” says Stuart Hatton, the managing director at Umberslade, the developer behind Wapping Wharf
“We are very excited to be able to announce the first business to join phase two of Wapping Wharf, an important milestone and a sign of great things to come for this latest chapter in the story of the development.”
