Did you get a weekly comic from the newsagents growing up?

Back in the days before they all had to come wrapped in plastic?!

The most famous and popular got, and still do get, made into TV shows and films of course, like those from Marvel & DC.

For we found a few nostalgic items in the stock room - a couple of lovely vintage items amongst them 😀

A few film adaptations in the DVD section too 🎬

On Wednesday 23rd September, some electrical works are being done in the shop and we’re unable to open.

If work is finished swiftly we may open after lunch but this currently looks unlikely.

Apologies for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding 💜

The weather can’t make its mind up so we’ve added a few new items to the rails to bridge the seasonal gap!

Apparently it’s Wrinkled Raincoat Day and also International Day For The Preservation Of The Ozone Layer so we’ve got all bases covered!

Hopefully you won’t find our raincoats are too wrinkled and hopefully you’ll find something you love to add to your outdoorsy wardrobe. ☔️

A couple of sale rails still in store for the Summer bargain hunters too.☀️
