The Works

A decent selection of things, but quite cramped... especially at peak times.

Discount retail chain in the centre of Taunton specialising in books, art supplies, games and stationery. Great location for children's books and art supplies for art students. Very good value.

Great for cheap but good stationary, books, art supplies and gifts.

Good shop to get arts and crafts for the children... and take a look at the books on offer. The works is great to check out for more traditional pastimes for all ages. Jigsaw puzzles and quiz books on a variety of subjects.

Board games.... Great to see they are alive and kicking... Spotted one if my childhood favourites, "Monopoly".

If you are thinking of perhaps taking up an artist hobby like sketching, water colours or oil painting The Works has comprehensive starting out gear. Easels canvas and paint sets to get you started.

I also notice that they stock invoice books and diaries. Useful if you didn't know that.

Great for taking the nephews to find something at a reasonable price

Lots of great crafting materials for the kids

Good range of books , arts&crafts , gifts etc. Prices aren't that much amazing. Staff seriously needs some basic training , they deffinetly don't contribute to the sales. "Computer says....." style of approach (!) . However still it is worth the visit if you are looking for a present to buy for your kids.

Amazing shop, I love buying goodies from here. All sorts!
