Hold Fast Bookshop

Hold Fast is a bookshop in Leeds, West Yorkshire with a unexpected twist - plot spoiler alert - its on a boat! Step aboard our historic barge to explore our large selection of books and find your next great read.  If the weather is nice enjoy our sun deck or snuggle up by the fire in our cosy hull when it isn't. No matter if you are visiting from afar or live and work in our Leeds Dock community you will find a warm welcome. Our boat, Marjorie R (1946) has been awarded Flagship of the year 2023 by National Historic Ships. You can visit us: Thursday 9-5pm, Friday 9-5pm, Saturday 9-5pm and Sunday 11-4pm. 

Please note: When you browse and buy through our bookshop.org page, the book is sent directly to your home and we earn commission on every sale. This means you can choose from millions of titles that we wouldn't have space for on our boat!
