The Rainbow Shop

The Rainbow Shop is the Village’s own Charity Shop

Sited opposite The Co-op in Main Street and alongside St Andrew’s Church, it was the brainchild of the then Vicar Brian Davis and his wife Sylvia. (Sadly Sylvia died in 2006) Over the last twenty one years it has sent over £100,000 to Christian Aid to help fund projects overseas.

The shop sells good quality largely second hand clothes to people who benefit most from them. The shop is staffed by friendly volunteers from across the churches and village so you can also expect a warm welcome. It is open from 10:00am to 12:00noon and 2:00pm to 4:00pm weekdays and Saturday from 10:00am to 3:00pm.

Alongside ‘Good as New’ clothes the shop sells a good range of Fairly Traded products, cards, toys, books, DVD’s, videos and other items. You can also get refreshments and sit and chat in comfort as you drink your coffee, tea or soft drink.
