Team Mayflower Bookshop

After five years, it is time for a new chapter in the Mayflower Bookshop-adventure! On October 31st, we are leaving our premises at Breestraat 142 and moving to Breestraat 70, 350 metres down the street.

VENUE BREESTRAAT 70

You will love our new venue at Breestraat 70 (corner Breestraat/ Catharinasteeg)! Until recently, this building was occupied by Boeken Outlet Leiden. Breestraat 70 has a distinctive monumental front on the Breestraat-side. On the Catharinasteeg-side you will find the familiar all-English Mayflower atmosphere housed in a contemporary paradise for booklovers!

SALE

Until 31 October 2021, a moving sale will take place at the old address, with increasing discounts. At the same time, a blowout sale will be held at our new venue, where every third Dutch-language book is for free! As the Mayflower collection will temporarily be divided over the two locations, some titles may be unavailable.

EVENT

To mark this milestone, on October 31st, the Mayflower Bookshop Pilgrim event will take place saying goodbye to our old location and welcoming you at our new location – Keep your eyes on our website for further details!
