\n Rocketship Bookshop has relocated from Bridge Street to a new unit at Cross Keys Shopping Centre in Salisbury, bringing its vibrant collection of children\u2019s and young adult titles to the heart of the city\u2019s retail district.\n<\/p>\n
\n The shop\u2019s curated selection ranges from picture books to young adult fiction, with recommendations for all ages.\n<\/p>\n
\n Russell Mardell, from Rocketship Bookshop, said: “We\u2019ve had a brilliant first week at Cross Keys.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It\u2019s been wonderful to see so many familiar faces and to meet new readers discovering the shop for the first time.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We\u2019re excited to be part of a retail community that supports independent businesses and offers something unique for Salisbury.”\n<\/p>\n

\n Colin Wilson, from Cross Keys Shopping Centre, said: “It\u2019s been the perfect timing for Rocketship to join us here at Cross Keys.\n<\/p>\n
\n “With the summer holidays underway, it\u2019s been great to see lots of young readers dropping by, and exploring the other family-friendly shops at Cross Keys along the way.”\n<\/p>\n
\n In addition to its wide selection of books, the shop plans to continue hosting regular events with schools, authors, and illustrators.\n<\/p>\n
\n Rocketship Bookshop is open Monday to Friday from 9.30 am to 4.30 pm and Saturdays from 9.30 am to 5 pm.\n<\/p>\n
\n The move was made a success with the help of the public, as Rocketship launched a fundraising page to help make up the shortfall and cover some of the expenses that came with relocating.\n<\/p>\n
\n Shoppers donated an incredible \u00a31,805 to the cause.\n<\/p>\n
\n Russell helped out manager Jo Boyles to open Rocketship in February 2020 and has worked there ever since.\n<\/p>\n
\n The two of them did the move by themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rocketship Bookshop has relocated from Bridge Street to a new unit at Cross Keys Shopping Centre in Salisbury,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":72357,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[457,96,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-72356","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-books","8":"tag-books","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72356","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72356"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72356\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72357"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72356"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72356"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72356"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
