Inspiring art, creativity and play through reuse of items that would otherwise be thrown away

Do you have a bag full of bags? Did you forget your Bag For Life a couple of times and now you're inundated with them? Can we take them off your hands? While we're saving the planet by selling donated items, we'd also like to save the planet by not providing single use carrier bags. But we're running low on reusable bags! If you have any laying around, gathering dust, please consider donating them to us, so we can continue our mission to stop clogging landfill with single use plastic. You can drop off your bags and totes at the till area. Thankyou in advance! ♻️ 💚 ♻️

It was so great to see so many enjoying gaining skills and confidence with their overlockers with the marvellous Lindsey on Saturday.
Our next overlocker workshop with the queen of Lycra is on January 23rd, spaces limited, so book early to avoid disappointment.
(Especially if you're hopeful of getting one for Christmas!)

With the half term holidays upon us, why not bring your wee ones into Orinoco for some crafting time? Our children's craft tables are packed with fabulous supplies to make all sorts of lovely things! Why not make a Halloween card, or decorate a spiderweb or pumpkin? We have lots of cut-outs ready to be stuck on, a big selection of stickers, crayons, felt tip pens, pompoms, the list is endless!

The childrens craft tables are located near the rear of the shop, no need to book! A suggested donation of £2 per child would be appreciated. And right next to the cafe so mums and dads can have a cup of tea and a scone or piece of shortbread, all made fresh in our kitchen!

Our opening hours are 10am till 4pm, Tuesday to Saturday

A fabulous milestone reached!
80 tonnes of still useful stuff now saved from being needlessly thrown away!
That's the equivalent of:
AN ACTUAL DINOSAUR! T-rex FMNH PR 2801 (aka Sue), or
13 elephants, or
20 hippos or
100 cows, or
107,000 stuffed Womble toys!
An enormous thank you to everyone in our wonderful Orinoco community, customers, staff, and especially our fabulous team of volunteers ♻️
