Funshops Schools, play-groups, galas, corporate days, shopping centres, etc. are just some of the venues for our funshops. Funshops are either ‘structured' or ‘come-and-try' with the same children for the duration of the funshop: ‘come-and-try' is informal, participants stay for as long as they want and 'have a go‘ so numbers vary. We can customize each workshop to satisfy the needs of your group You provide the venue and participants, we provide the rest! Funshops can be linked

Classic toy shop
For those of you who remember The Walrus and Carpenter this is the toy shop for you and your children/grandchildren. It has lots of classic wooden toys, puppets, games, etc as well as well chosen modern toys. It also caters for the "big" kids with kites, magic tricks, puppets, juggling clubs and so so much more. A friendly couple run the business and I only wish their dog was for sale too but he is a permanent fixture (often asleep). Definitely worth a visit.
