Our Story

A Fiction-Filled Hideaway in the Heart of Worthing

Tilly’s Bookshop was born from a serious love of fiction and a desire to create a kind and welcoming space for readers (and future readers!). A space built on curiosity, kindness, and genuine conversation. After years of dreaming, we opened our doors in Worthing to offer a space where readers could slow down, explore hand picked stories, discuss their favourite books and feel at home.

Our Shop

A Place to Relax and Discover

Tilly’s Bookshop is designed as a welcoming retreat where you can slow down and lose yourself in great stories. From the moment you walk in, you’ll find cosy corners, shelves filled with hand picked fiction, and a friendly team ready to help.

Thoughtfully Curated

The books on our shelves have been handpicked with care. We focus on a wide range of fiction, from timeless classics to fresh new voices, offering something unique for every kind of reader.

A Cosy Escape

Step inside and slow down. Tilly’s Bookshop is a warm and welcoming space where you can browse at your own pace, discover something new, and enjoy a quiet moment surrounded by books.

Real People, Real Passion

We’re a small team of passionate readers who love nothing more than talking about books. Whether you need a recommendation or just want to chat about your latest read, we’re here to help.

Who's Tilly?

The Heart Behind the Bookshop

With years of experience working in bookshops and sharing reviews online, Tilly knows firsthand the magic that happens when the right story finds the right reader. Her absolute favourite thing in the world is when a customer comes back in to tell her how much they loved a book she recommended, although if they don’t she’ll keep trying until they do! 

When not working in the shop, you’ll likely find her out walking the dogs with an audiobook on the go, or snuggled up at home with a hot chocolate and an exciting new release (which will probably still look like new after she’s done with it as she’s BIG on bookmarks and the idea of a cracked spine makes her shudder).
