Rocketship Bookshop

Rocketship Bookshop is an independent children's and young adult bookshop inside Cross Keys Shopping Centre in the heart of Salisbury. Dogs are welcome inside the shop, so you can browse picture books, teen fiction and illustrated titles without leaving them tied outside. The shop sits within the covered centre, meaning you'll stay dry whatever the weather.

It's a popular stop for families looking for new releases, gifts and well-chosen reads for younger readers. The focus here is squarely on children's literature, with a thoughtfully curated range that reflects the independent spirit of the place.

Cross Keys is in the city centre and nearby car parks serve the area. The shop makes a useful stop if you're exploring Salisbury with your dog and fancy picking up a book or a gift between café visits and errands.
