WELCOME TO MAINSTREET
Based in the Scottish Borders village of St Boswells, The Mainstreet Trading Company is a destination in itself. Husband and wife team, Rosamund and Bill de la Hey, renovated the former auction house in 2008 to create a light and airy space filled with books and the smell of coffee. In 2012, they went on to create Mainstreet Deli & Home in a beautiful barn behind the main shop.
THE GIVING TREE
Each year we set up a Giving Tree in our bookshop, providing the opportunity for our customers to give a book as a Christmas Gift for children who may not have many books on their shelves at home.
This year we are working with our local foodbanks to provide books for the children who use their services. We hope that each child who receieves a food parcel from these Food Banks will also receive a gift-wrapped, age-appropraite books, thanks to the generosity of our community.
WHAT’S ON AT MAINSTREET
November 22, 2024Our new home highlight is all beautiful colours and patterns!
November 20, 2024What we think is the best selection of books for young bookworms in 2024.
There is little that compares with the joy of receiving a parcel from Mainstreet. The care that goes into each delivery warms my heart; the wrapping, the pretty string, the note and the lovely carton. It’s wonderful. We are seriously considering a move north, and Mainstreet is a major contributing factor!
