The Works

A great place to buy small gifts for lots of young relatives reasonably cheaply. All sorts of stationery, toys and gadgets to choose from. I will be back to buy stocking fillers for Christmas. Helpful staff and clear pricing too.

Very convenient place to get books, stationery especially for kids story books on very low price, often see offers as well. Staff are nice too. Free Parking also available.

My daughter loves it. Starting from books,painting accessories, and finishing with most adorable toys you'll find everything to please the lil' one.

Great value art and stationery supplies. Books galore and quirky gift items. Polite helpful enthusiastic staff

Great value for stationary and art supplies, as well as other items for tourists, children, and bookworms. Highly recommend for those on a budget + starting out.

As an art student who specialises in graphite and charcoal, many of the supplies aren't too bad. There are sets that can be costly but brands such as Crawford & Black and Boldmere are great for beginners. As for the sketchbooks/pads, they can be quite rough and rubbing/blending too much can damage the paper. Ultimately, it's nice to use them for practice drawings and not for commissioned work.

Brilliant shop!! Aladdins cave of treasures! Plenty of different arts and crafts materials, books and fidget toys one could ever hope for!! Love going in there, it’s always a joy. The staff are always cheerful, attentive and have a nice chat with them. As some one with social anxiety, I feel quite chilled in there! Fantastic shop :)

Wonderful to have affordable art materials.

Normally I always have a good experience with this shop however today I got there 4.20/4.25 (before it should have closed) and they had locked the door. Refused to let me in to grab some books for kids party. Would have taken less than 5 minutes and still would have been out of there before their official closing time. Sadly disappointed today
