Number 41 The High Street, Wincanton, formerly The Discworld Emporium.
The Discworld Emporium has been part of this lovely market town for just over twenty years and during that time, it attracted thousands of visitors from all over the word. As the name suggests the shop was entirely focused on Sir Terry Pratchett’s Discworld books and memorabilia. In fact, it was at Sir Terry’s suggestion the Pearson’s moved to Wincanton, and he actually owned the premises for two years while Bernard and Isobel Pearson got the funds to buy it from him. Because of this unique connection Wincanton has not just been a place of pilgrimage of his fans but in 2002 Wincanton was officially twinned with Ankh-Morpork and in 2007 Discworld was put on the map, quite literally, when Terry opened a new housing development in the town bearing Discworld street names including Treacle Mine Road and Peach Pie Street. In January of this year the Emporium moved its business to a larger premises in the town. Its time now for this ancient building to encompass another incarnation. And perhaps nurture other talents and dreams as it did to all of us that brought the writings of a remarkable man to life within its walls.
