Have you checked out the children’s department lately?
We’re slowly bringing stuff back into the children’s department. If you’ve been in, in the last few weeks you may have noticed that the weekly riddle has returned! Correct answers could win a small prize. We have also brought back the monthly colouring contest (you can take these pages home and bring them back to be entered into a monthly draw to win a small prize!) and introduced a new “think outside the box” drawing station!
