Oh No!!! …The Emporium has more empty shelves 😮 This time we desperately need all sorts of BRIC-a-BRAC so if you are having a sort out please bear us in mind and bring in your unwanted items. Anything will do, providing it is clean and undamaged. You came up trumps with our request for books, puzzles & games (keep them coming) so it would be really great if you could again please. Thank you 😍

HELP!!! We have empty bookshelves in The Emporium 😮 if anyone has any books that need a new home - in particular paperback novels - then we would be very grateful. We also need all types of puzzles please to keep our customers busy during the long winter evenings. So if you are having a clear out, please keep us in mind. Thanks 👍

Well, we have had a very successful couple of weeks since starting our sale and now could do with some new stock. So if any of you lovely people out there have any unwanted items of furniture please get in touch - either by replying to this post, or popping into The Emporium in Sturminster Newton. There are some things that just don’t sell, so we won’t take, e.g. large display cabinets, corner display cabinets, mattresses, cots, broken or dirty items. Any sofas or chairs must have the fire safety tags attached. We can offer a collection and delivery service for a small charge depending on location. 😍

Tim our lovely Monday man has been busy with the 50% off stickers..I think he may have gone a bit crazy as he seems to have marked down almost everything 🤔!! Pop in this coming Saturday 9.30 - 1.30 and grab a bargain. It’s also the Classic Car event in Sturminster that morning so even more reason to come into town.

Julie Balmer, Cheryl Basten (manager of our 4 shops), Sue Rose (volunteer and society secretary) Tim Balmer (volunteer) & Baxter (who’s not quite so excited) are celebrating the new fantastic artwork on our pre-loved furniture shop windows. Thanks to Julie and her paintbrushes for doing an amazing job (when she’s not being a paramedic!). Come and see us next time your are in Sturminster.

We have had a name change as you can see and bit of a make over with new signs to brighten up the place.
Not only that, we have some fantastic pieces of newly donated furniture, loads of mirrors, cushions and bags of all types ready for a new home.
Pop in and see us whenever you are in town (Sturminster Newton) and hopefully we will have something you like.
We also have a large selection of pre-loved school uniform all completely FREE OF CHARGE, so come and help yourselves and of course if you have any uniform in good condition that you no longer need, please bring in to add to our collection.
