Happy Halloween-Half term-Holidays!

It’s been a while since we have updated our website and our blog. We have had a very busy and exciting summer, with record sales! And an added staff member. We have widened our variety of stock and now have a bigger selection of Jewellery and Antiques.

We are now getting ready for the Christmas period, and can’t quite believe it is upon us already! There are lots of events on around the town over the next two months, which are kicked off with the Street fair that is currently on.

St Crispins Street fair Sat 25th – Tues 28th

Carousel in the drapery, northampton

 

This is the 3rd year the fair has returned to Northampton since it was scrapped in 2005. The lay out is a bit puzzleling though, as they have split the rides between Abington Street and the Market Square, and Commercial street Car park. On visiting the fair ourselves, we didn’t bother to go down to the Car Park, as it was a bit of a walk, once we had walked up through Abington Street from Gold Street, which makes me wonder who else felt the same? I think if I was a ride operator I would be annoyed to be down the bottom in the car park, however maybe being next to the main road did them a favour?

We went on the Big Wheel in the market square which was High, Fast and windy!, I think £3.50 was a normal price for this type of ride, but could have benefitted from a family ticket maybe?

We also walked through the Market Walk Shopping centre, and they have a competition on through half term for the kids to find all the Ghosts in the Shops inside the centre and write down there names, I don’t think I have spent so long in the Shopping centre for years!! So it certainly worked in terms of a marketing ploy! I saw lots of ideal Christmas prezzy’s in Bias and some great Christmas Cards in Pick a Card

It’s worth entering the competition as the you will be entered into a draw to win an iPad or £250 spending money, and the kids will have fun searching for the ghosts!

Don’t forget to pop in and see us if you are in town and have the kids in tow, we have loads of cheap games for all consoles and some bargain DVDs they will love spending there pocket money on! Starting from 50p!

 

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Have a Happy Halloween!
