Womencrafts

What you’ll find

Books by women, lesbian fiction, queer and gender studies, work by women of colour and trans authors, feminist history, local art, pottery, jewellery, political stickers, cards and Womencrafts originals. Every object is chosen through a women-centred, activist lens.

Best time to browse

A weekday summer morning leaves space for a real bookseller conversation; Women's Week and anniversary events turn the shop into a community destination. Winter opening is deliberately limited, so confirm the day rather than trusting a generic map schedule.

Online store & international shipping

The operator runs a focused web shop for original apparel, posters, books, prints, jewellery and gift certificates. It does not publish a stable, complete shipping-geography summary on accessible pages; confirm delivery and timing at checkout before ordering internationally.

Payment methods

The live online checkout determines current card and wallet choices. Independent listings report credit-card acceptance in store, but Womencrafts does not publish a fixed register-method list; contact the shop if cashless or foreign-card acceptance is essential.

Privacy & inclusion

Lesbian-owned and operated, explicitly intersectional and described by the operator as a hub for activism and community. It is an all-ages shop, though political merchandise is frank. The historic Commercial Street premises do not have a detailed published access statement, so ask about mobility needs.
