P & G Wells Events

In addition to the courses, activities and book launches listed on our Homepage , we contribute to a wide range of regular events that are organised throughout Hampshire. Generally, these are arranged in conjunction with schools, societies and other community institutions.

P & G Wells Book Fairs
We specialise in setting up and running book fairs in schools. We bring a wide selection of quality books to show to the children, and we have our trained staff on hand to advise them on their choices. With over 10 years of experience our knowledge of matching books to children is second to none. Our books are constantly kept up to date and can be tailored to your individual needs.

"Books children own are the books they re-read … So offer children the best possible selection, give them the best available advice and let them buy a book of thir own choice. What I admire about P & G Wells is that they enable children to do just that."
Chris Powling, author
