Gort is the place to be tomorrow.

Makers market? Check. Live music? Check. Free tours celebrating Yeats and Lady Gregory? Check. A bookshop full of independently published authors hiding just around the corner? Also check.

We'll be here, so call in and say hello if you're out enjoying the Yeats-Gregory Explorer Community Celebration.

(And yes, we'll happily tell you where to find the dragons, the dark romance, and the local authors.) 📚✨

Author visit alert! ✨
We had the pleasure of welcoming to Inkbound, and she left behind something special...
Signed copies of Firestorm (Shadowed Embers Book I) and Nightshade (Shadowed Embers Book II) are now available in store!
There's just something magical about a signed book. Knowing the author held it before it found its way to your shelf? That's a little bit of bookshop magic.
Find us in Gort, Co. Galway. 🖤

Every country has that one thing that stops productivity

In Ireland, it's the All-Ireland Final.
This weekend, Galway face Limerick in hurling: a 3,000-year-old sport involving wooden sticks, a tiny ball, and people making life choices based entirely on the score.

Inkbound is officially in match mode.

Up Galway! 💜📚

17/07/2026

Closed tomorrow for a double birthday celebration in our house 🎂🥳
And then on Sunday, Galway v Limerick in the All-Ireland Final, so let’s be honest, no real work was going to happen anyway.
Back open Tuesday, hopefully older, wiser, and celebrating a Galway win. 💜
COME ON GALWAY! 💜

Ireland remembered what sunshine is, so naturally I had to film the shop while it looked all pretty. ☀️📚

A little wander from the outside in, with shelves full of independently published books waiting to ruin your sleep schedule.

Come visit us in Gort and find your next read.
