Bookshop Crawl UK
Bookshop Crawl UK are thrilled to be running bookshop crawls across Leeds during the 2026 Leeds Lit Fest. Join our enthusiastic bookshop loving team to explore an itinerary of incredible bookshops and bookish spaces, with the chance to meet other book lovers in a low pressure, ‘socially antisocial’ way.
We’ll visit a wide range of amazing bookshops over the course of an afternoon, and there might even be a few fun extras along the way (at the discretion of the bookshops, of course!) and best of all, you’ll get to spend time in bookshops and be inspired by other people’s recommendations along the way.
