Upon stepping through the doors of Antipodes Bookshop and Gallery, visitors find themselves in a serene and welcoming space, where beautiful things abound. Jane and the well-read staff are always pleased to recommend their favourite books and chat about what‘s new, and there is an ever-changing selection of hand-selected art, craft and jewellery throughout the store.

Antipodes prides itself on the very special (and increasingly rare) opportunity to browse, imagine and discover the tactile world of books and the community is always at the heart of the store. It is this complete experience that makes Antipodes our favourite literary destination on the Pen – and one that is so precious in this digital age.
