Spencer Thorn is a proudly independent, family-owned, local bookshop and gift store in the beautiful seaside town of Bude, Cornwall. Here you can find out all about us, our history and meet the team who bring the Spencer Thorn magic to life…
Since first opening our now-infamous blue door in 1968, Spencer Thorn has grown, evolved and blossomed.
We’ve never, however, strayed from our roots or our family values. Now, over 55 years later, we have the privilege of being a Bude favourite amongst both locals and visitors alike.
Originally a bookshop, now also a gift shop, Jellycat stockist extraordinaire and purveyor of cracking cards, traditional toys and irresistible little treats for all your loved ones.
