Arty Bees Books

Arty Bees is not only the coolest name for a bookshop, it may just be the coolest bookshop. No matter the genre, no matter the publishing date, and no matter the price range, with over 100,000 books in its stock, you’ll surely find what you’re after. Stepping into the quiet bliss of Arty Bees is heavenly, and indeed any true blooded book lover will be in paradise.

Weave your way through the cautiously constructed stacks and discover untold stories, forgotten trades, or a near new copy of the book you’ve been craving. Not only is Arty Bees the largest independent, family-run bookstore in Wellington, they’re also committed to the community, and regularly raise money and donate to charities, lit fests and community-lead caused. By exchanging, selling or buying there, you’re not only finding treasures for your shelf, you’re helping them help your community - it’s a win-win.
