Models at Storytime

Many of you will remember Neil Lambess and Replicant models in Quality Street. This month we've brought him over to Storytime and Neil is now running our Hobby and Construction toy department.

Now that we have Neil with us we can run some model building classes, and these school holidays we have arranged for some starter kits where you can learn the skills of model assembly, painting and decaling. Check out the event calendar for details, bookings are limited to six per session so get in quick.

School Holidays

Our event team is looking forward to the holidays in our new event area. Gone is the cold concrete, replaced by an expanded product range and carpeted activity area.

These holidays we have something on every day, with activities like Story Time, Play Time, Pottery Painting, Model Making, and even a model exhibition to admire.
