The Works is a discount retail chain offering products including books, art supplies, games and stationery. It is a large shop with wide varieties of book collection and other arts and crafts related things. It is located in Town Centre. You can shop in-store and online as well. Affordable price for products. It is two-storied shop. Loved this shop.

Absolutely love the shop! Got an absolute bargain on some very specific books I was looking for. Hopefully I will go back there soon for more.

Great selection of arts and crafts items, priced fairly at a mid-level quality. A good ranged collection of books upstairs from colouring to autobiographys. Although ageing slowly, the spark remains from the friendly and helpful staff.

I browse The Works quite often and sometimes find a book of interest to purchase. Recently I have purchased a James Bond novel called ''Licence Renewed" in mint condition for just £1, a bargain compared to the £6.99 that Amazon were charging at the time. In the last year I have been bettering my French by finding material from this store that has proved invaluable to me, all at bargain prices.

There are novels, biographies, autobiographies, calendars, diaries, puzzles, dictionaries in several languages, educational materials for children... all sorts of things to consider when browsing all at very reasonable prices, if not absolute bargains. The staff are always pleasant and helpful and are genuinely happy to see you.
