Castle Shop to Re-open!

11th April 2021 by Whittington Castle

The Castle shop will re-open on
Wednesday 14 April from 10-4pm
thanks to the incredible support
of our volunteers……..


Introducing Molly our new shop supervisor Many of you will know Molly from the tearoom where she has worked for the last three years. At the beginning of 2021 Molly was promoted to shop supervisor and since then has been busy looking for new suppliers to stock the shop. Our most recent
arrivals include a new range from Green Owl Toys. Here is Molly doing
a great job of displaying them all: new swords and shields as well as
realistic helmets – who needs a Covid face mask when you have a knight’s
helmet to wear!
Molly is keen to stock the shop with a wide range of different items. If you
have any suggestions, please get in touch: info@whittingtoncastle.co.uk
We have also introduced a new range of lovely jewellery from Miss Milly
which has already proved very popular with our Christmas customers.
Another new initiative in the shop is ice cream which we are selling at
weekends.
Is this a good idea? Let us know what
flavours you’d like us to sell.

…….Speaking of volunteers
Thanks to one of our volunteers,
Gerard, the secondhand bookshop has
had a tidy up and a sort out.
It should now be easier to find your
favourite author when you visit us.
We are currently only accepting
donations of modern fiction as we are in
the process of revamping this part of the castle.
