Welcome to Griffin Books! 

As Penarth’s independent bookshop, we’re dedicated to finding the perfect book for every customer, whether that’s through our wide range of fiction and non-fiction stocked in store, or through our next-day ordering service.

We also love to bring you literary experiences - we host regular author talks and book signings on a variety of topics, as well as holding a weekly children’s story time in the shop and running a number of bookclubs.

To make your shopping experience the best possible, we offer freshly brewed coffee for all customers, and our loyalty card scheme offers you a free £5 voucher with every ten books purchased.

We hope to serve the large community of book lovers in Penarth and beyond, and inspire others to help it grow!
