Visual arts, magazine and stationery shop opening soon

By Martin Booth  Thursday Nov 10, 2022

An online shop selling magazines, coffee table books and stationery is opening its first bricks and mortar store in Bristol.

Opening on Christmas Steps in time for Christmas, Rova promises to be “design-driven space” selling products from across the world as well as closer to home.

Due to open on November 19, Rova’s shopfront has already been painted by Bedminster-based Tozer Signs, while inside there will be custom-made tables from Horfield-based Arc Makers, hand-printed Rova gift vouchers from the Letterpress Collective on Leonard Lane, tote bags from Fyahfly in Redfield and houseplants from Fancy Plants on nearby Perry Road.

Rova founder Paul Baxter said: “I am beyond eager to officially welcome the people of Bristol to Rova, and to be opening up on the Christmas Steps is just the cherry on top.

“To be surrounded by amazing independents and artists is exactly what I wanted as I pride myself on showcasing local and indie artists.”
