Our 2026 festival has officially commenced!

Kids at Nicky's Atelier enjoyed making doodle pages as they listened to an old Cornish folk tale, made paper boats with name flags made with a genuine typewriter, and created found poetry/illustrations on book pages.

Oh, to be a kid again!

You'll be given a voucher stating how many item you bought in, when you choose some awesome new pieces of clothing if you take less than you bought, you'll be given credits to use next month. So if you bring in 10 items then take 6 items with you, you'll have 4 credits for next month, so you could take 4 items next month without bringing anything in.
