Pen’rallt

Gallery Bookshop

this autumn, 2026, our community of book lovers and discoverers can look forward to a wide range of our popular and very sociable author readings, talks, workshops and exhibitions here in Pen’rallt, Ffotogaleri and Senedd-dy.

In Owain Glyndŵr Parilament House (Senedd-dy) where, by invitation of the Canolfan Owain Glyndŵr Committee, and in partnership with O’r Pedwar Gwynt, we established a Welsh-Language-first bookshop – Siop Lyfrau’r Senedd-dy, which
has provided the perfect space for larger book launches and author events.

Creative writing and poetry workshops help to uncover the writer in you.

We love our bookshop and its specially selected stock of titles you are less likely to find elsewhere. We are pretty proud of it, and our ever growing number of customers and influencers appreciate it too
Diolch o galon! Thank you!

A pleasant surprise for for us during Independent Bookshop Week 2021 was when Pen’rallt was named by The Guardian Online as one of the

‘10 Best Indie-Bookshops in the UK’

celebrating 15 years in business

We opened our bookshop on 24 May 2011 and have just celebrated our 15th birthday.

We’ve made it work due to our wonderful town, our loyal customers and regulars visiting us in person; those who continue to discover us; who seek us out and those who, at a distance, support us through our online store bookshop.org, Ffolio and hive.

Above all – thank you all.
