🎄✨ Santa is coming to Inkbound Society on December 16th! ✨🎄
…and he picked the fairy lights of our little bookshop over every crowded grotto in Ireland. 📚💛

On Tuesday 16 December from 4pm, Inkbound Santa will be settling into his cosy chair beneath the warm glow of the shelves - with time to listen, no queues, no noise, and a bookish gift for every child.

Think soft shadows.
Think stacked books.
Think a gentle, sensory-friendly Santa visit where children can just be, without the rush.

🎁 €5 per child - pay on the day
📚 Each child leaves with a small bookish gift
🌟 A quieter, magical alternative to big grottos
📷 Optional Santa photo emailed privately to you
👨‍👩‍👧 One booking per family

✨ Booking is required - limited slots available:

And since he insisted on doing the announcement himself… enjoy the video above 😌🎅

Mondays are always better when we have doggos in the shop. Jazz the rescue and her owner popped in and we instantly fell in love. She dances too!

📚✨ New local Author at Inkbound Bookshop ✨📚
We were delighted to welcome Katherine Scanlon into the shop today, where she personally signed copies of her gorgeous children’s book, Clipper the Hurl’s Amazing Adventure, now available right here in Gort!

Clipper the Hurl’s Amazing Adventure

This charming tale celebrates the magic of hurling and camogie, following Clipper on a heart-filled journey of teamwork, resilience, and imagination. It’s the perfect read for young hurlers, dreamers, and anyone who loves a story rooted in Irish culture.

Katherine shared her inspiration with us:

“I wanted to create a story that celebrates hurling and camogie in a way that sparks the imagination of young readers. Clipper The Hurl’s Amazing Adventure introduces children to the values of dedication and teamwork, all while embracing important elements of Irish culture.”

Call in, pick up a piece of Irish storytelling, and support a brilliant local author.
