Great choice of gifts and service
There's always a good choice of Northern related gifts either in the shop or online. I like being able to browse at home and then pick up at the shop where I can have another look at what's there. The staff are always helpful and friendly.

Secret art sale
Attended the secret art sale in aid of the Whitley bay food bank and as always there was a great selection of art for all tastes by local artists to buy for the charity. Worthy cause and a great event.
