St Peter’s Hospice Shop

This is one of the best charity shops on the city! It’s great! It’s like a jumble sale, but with things you would actually want. On the summer days, like today, they put boxes and racks of stock outside the front of the shop; making it feel like a garage sale. I challenge anyone to walk past on a day like today and not be forced to stop and have a look at the piles of stuff.
It’s a large charity shop as far as they go, with a huge variety of bits & pieces, like cameras and electronic goods to clothes, furniture and books. I already found a great old cannon camera I’m thinking about going back for tomorrow.
The staff I met were all very young and will help you look for things that you can’t find on the shop floor. They will also go and check the mountains of donations in the back room for you as well.

St. Peter’s Hospice Shop is the kind of place you’d have to be a real c**kend to review negatively, but the shop is not just a charity shop; it is an exceptionally good one. In addition to VHS players and the often dated selection of clothing that Charity Shops seem to attract are some genuinely nice ornamental items and a great selection of jumpers and jackets. The staff that give up their free time in here do so with a smile and are happy to look around the back if you’re looking for a particular coloured item of clothing. You’ve got nothing to lose by having a browse and you might be pleasantly surprised.

This particular charity shop intrigued me on my first ever walk down Cotham Hill and still draws me inside no matter how many times I walk past determined not to go in… again! The shop has the most colourful display window I have ever seen and a mountain of cuddly toys at the front of the shop ensures that mothers will be dragged in by their children. Most charity shops have racks of clothes to browse but this charity shop makes the whole process so much easier. The shop is divided into colours –an orange rack, a green rack, a yellow rack etc. Shirts, trousers, skirts and dresses of the same colour are held together which is extremely useful, especially if looking for a particular colour for fancy dress or for a top to match your new shoes. I definitely recommend this brilliant rainbow shop!
