Grocott’s Mail is your newspaper, and the ground-floor level is your space.
Our core focus is to keep you up-to-date with what’s on the go in Grahamstown, but you might not know that we also provide a dynamic walk-in space where you can get a lot done, including producing your own news stories.

You’re always welcome, whether you need to get a quick copy made, buy a few sheets of paper, newsprint or envelopes, send or receive faxes, buy local art or just take a breather on our comfy couches and enjoy the buzz that often permeates this space.
The floor opened to the public in 1906; now, over 100 years later, the original shelving, glass cabinets and windows are still in place, but we’ve kept up with the modern era and will shortly be offering internet cafe services..
In the second half of this year we also ran two free six-week courses in the new Citizen Journalism Newsroom on this floor, training 80 people how to use computers, write stories, take photos and get their very own pieces of journalism published! We’ll offer the course again next year – see www.grocotts.co.za/cjnr for more info. Come visit us at 40 High Street from 8am to 5pm Monday to Friday and make the most of your space!
