Stanfords is the UK's leading specialist retailer of maps, travel books, travel accessories and travel literature. Stanfords have a well stocked Bristol section plus a number of unique gifts and souvenirs from world globes to locally crafted mugs and stationery. They also host a number of high profile talks and book signings which in the past have featured such greats as Sir David Attenborough, Paul Theroux, Michael Wood and Colin Thubron.
This summer, Stanford are having their very own life-size gorilla, Maporilla, painted with a map of Bristol designed by Rebecca Howard whose previous work has included The Green Map for Alastair Sawday's book Bristol: A Guide to Good Living. You can enter a competition to win Maporilla, with the winner being annouced shortly before Christmas. To enter the competition, visit the store or their website. Smaller ceramics of Maporilla will be available in June and a donation will go the Bristol Zoo for their work with animal conservation.
