Acorn and the Vine
Acorn and the Vine is Portsmouth and Southsea’s independent Christian bookshop, welcoming people looking for books, gifts and a place to pause. Established in 1988, the shop has served Christians in the city for more than 30 years. It is now run by volunteers on a non-profit basis, with Christ Central Church managing it as a service to other local churches. Its shelves include Bibles in a range of translations, styles and print sizes, alongside Christian literature, cards, gifts and devotional material. Visitors can also enjoy tea, coffee and soft drinks in the shop’s coffee area. The bookshop describes the value of being able to browse in person, compare covers and ask questions while choosing a book or gift. It is based on Palmerston Road in Southsea, looking across Southsea Common towards the Solent and the Isle of Wight.
