Books Are My Bag: Bookshop Day in Manchester

Bookshop Day unites publishers, authors, illustrators and poets every year to celebrate the hundreds of bookshops – big and small – all over the UK and Ireland, and the people who make the book-buying experience so special – booksellers. 

We teamed up with Books Are My Bag to bring their campaign to Manchester this year, working with two local illustrators to create a duo of hand-painted murals in the heart of the city; Maisy Summer’s in the vibrant Northern Quarter and Danielle Rhoda’s overlooking the bustling Shudehill interchange. Working with this year’s theme of ‘bookshops bringing people together’, both pay tribute to the vital part bookshops play on our high streets and within our communities.
