Winchester Christmas Market 2011!

We are pleased to announce that we will be at the fabulous Winchester Christmas market this year. I know it is way too earlier to be thinking about such things, but we are so excited about it, that we wanted to share the news with everyone. We have had a chalet at the Bath Christmas Market for a number of years and it was a difficult decision to move to Winchester, but it is an equally beautiful setting and much closer to our lovely shop in Southampton. The real clincher was the ice rink - you really can't get more festive than skating next to the cathedral before a cup of warming mulled wine! Hopefully you will be able to see us there - we will post more details of dates nearer the time. Founded in 2006, the Winchester Christmas Market is renowned for its unique location, high quality exhibitors and bustling atmosphere. Wonderful Christmas gifts, decorations and festive foods can be found in abundance. The Christmas Market is inspired by traditional German Christmas markets and attracts more than 350,000 visitors each year. The pretty wooden chalets are situated in the Cathedral’s historic Inner Close surrounding an open-air real ice rink. All the exhibitors have been hand-picked for their interesting, high quality and unique products many of which can’t be bought on the high street.

April 2011 One year on and going strong. It has been a hectic first twelve months but we are so pleased with all the support we have received from our customers, both online and local. In an age where the big supermarkets and chains dominate the retail sector, it can be difficult to find something a little different. Our wooden toys are sourced to provide exactly that - a little difference. Our shop allows us to add a little community spirit into what we do and it allows us the opportunity to meet some of you! So here's to the next 12 months...
