About us
A bibliophile's dream, The White Horse Bookshop is housed in a 16th Century townhouse on the High Street in Marlborough. In existence for over eighty years, The White Horse has received generous investment in recent years and undergone a tasteful refurbishment to create three floors of cultured heaven with its own gallery

Bookshop
A comprehensively well-stocked shop run by relaxed and friendly staff, The White Horse is a place where obscure enquiries will be met with knowledgeable answers. It also has a rare and collectables library and access to over 200,00 titles online, all available for next day delivery. But it is the physical experience of browsing in this beautifully created space and lingering along the shelves which makes the White Horse a cut above the big chains.
Exhibition Space
Exhibition Space
The White Horse has a fabulous gallery at the rear of the shop, an wonderful airy space which is home to regular exhibitions and events. See website for details.
Annual Open Exhibition
Some of you will remember that last year, to celebrate the opening of our new art gallery, we held an open art exhibition. With over 80 entries, the exhibition was a huge success. I am therefore delighted to announce that we will be holding another Open Art Exhibition this May (and every May from now on).
