Covid-19 / Coronavirus

For the latest Isle of Man Government guidance, see : https://www.gov.im/categories/health-and-wellbeing/coronavirus-covid-19/
​
Our first concern is of course the health of our customers, our team and the whole community.  As many local businesses have, we closed our physical stores from 3pm Tuesday 24th March 2020. 

As the Isle of Man Government has determined it is now safe to re-open "non-essential" retail we are opening from Monday 18th May 2020 under strict social distancing and hygiene.  This means:

  • Please use hand sanitiser (provided) on entering the shop 
  • We have adjusted our opening times to 9.30 am - 4 pm
  • Contactless (now up to £45) or card payments are preferred where possible
  • No more than 2 customers (or one family group) in the shop at any one time, please wait, maintaining a 2m distance from others, if there are already 2 people in the shop
  • If you think you might want to spend some time browsing, please ask to make an appointment
  • If you prefer, we are continuing our home delivery service for £2 or free for orders over £20, see www.bridge-bookshop.com or phone 833376 to place your orders


How to Experience Bridge Bookshop from Home

If you are self-isolating at home, whether because you’re unwell or out of concern for others, or if you have friends or family in that situation then of course bear in mind that you can buy books from our website for delivery to home, send us an email, facebook message or event tweet @BookshopIOM.  Or just phone the shops (833376 or 813374), we will have the phones diverted to our mobiles when the shop doors are locked.

If you’re after a book that you can’t see on the site, just send us a message through the CONTACT US page, and we will be in touch.  If you would like to place a telephone order you can phone Port Erin on 833376 and Ramsey on 813374.

We are now offering free Isle of Man delivery for orders over £20 (use code MANXSHIP), or just £2 per order.  UK delivery remains the same at £4.50 per order.

We will still be available online and by phone to take orders and handle your booky, arty and musical needs.

Please support local businesses in this difficult time.  Thanks so much.  Harry & Angela
