It was a Sunday, sun shining, walking leisurely in Market Harborough, when my wife and I discovered a Cancer Research Charity Shop, on Coventry Road. In we went. My wife Christine ventured to starboard, I ventured to port, that is, right and left respectively. Then looking forward I beheld a gentleman's country hat, perched invitingly, for a gentleman to purchase.Approaching I asked myself; would it fit, was the style really me. was it wool,would Christine like it? Getting closer I convinced myself that everything would be affirmative. Christine saw the hat in my hand, then after placing in on my head, she smiled and nodded her approval. Then looking in the mirror I realised the hat made me look quite dapper; it cost less than a fiver. I was as happy as a lark.

A small but well organised place, raising money for a good cause

A great little charity shop based just inside the Coventry Road. The had a refit about a year ago to spruce the shop up a bit, and I will admit it was a little worrying when for a while after it looked more like a boutique than a charity shop, but it is settling back into itself nicely now. Sells all the clothes, bric a brac, books etc you would expect (although no childrenswear, and toys can be a bit hit and miss), along side some great quality new goods such as wooden toys, gifts and seasonal ranges. The staff are wonderfully friendly and helpful. Wheelchair/buggy access can be a bit tight due to space allowances, and there is one step into the building.
