All Good Bookshop Campaign Launch

Created by Admin (See other events)

Location: Civic Centre, Wood Green High Road

Since the Big Green Bookshop closed its Wood Green shop in January, the area has sorely missed it, both as a shop and a popular independent arts venue.

This is why a group of volunteers approached Tim West (the former co-owner of the Big Green Bookshop) about setting up a new, permanent fixture in Wood Green/Turnpike Lane. This led to the formation of the All Good Bookshop project.

The All Good Bookshop will be a co-operative business, allowing residents of Wood Green and Turnpike Lane to gain shares through buying them or by volunteering their time and effort. It also promises to run as a venue, including music nights, reading groups, writing groups, and live events.

Tim West, acting General Manager and vice-chair of the project, said

“We love this area, and we think that a bookshop and events space made it better. But when it’s entirely a private business, that means it can close up or move away – that’s why we want to set up this co-operative, so it’ll be a permanent fixture in Haringey. We’re delighted Catherine West will be supporting us by turning up to our launch, so we hope to see as many people as possible there.”

The All Good Bookshop is currently looking for funding, either through private loans or crowd-funding. To learn more, go to the launch event at the Haringey Civic Centre on Saturday 11th May 2.00pm, and subscribe to the All Good Bookshop newsletter at https://allgoodbookshop.com/contact/
