The staff are delightful and you are welcomed to sit with a cup of real coffee while you ponder. Earthworks is a manufacturer (downstairs) so your furniture can also be made to order if you wish. This place is so amazing that it's worth a visit on its own and you'll find ideas in abundance!

Its organised really well inside with plenty of second hand beds and cupboards at really good prices. The staff are extremely friendly and do have some stock out in the back so its worth asking if you can't find what your looking for. I was really surprised to learn from the manager, Mark that they work closely with the local land-fill site to retrieve electrical equipment, restore it and sell it on. Fantastic, enterprising idea in my opinion!

The grounds are absolutely beautiful and there is so much to see. The grounds appear to be within an old church (one of the buildings is simply called The Chapel) which makes for a lovely backdrop to this brilliant place. As you wander through the grounds and in to one of the buildings, you will be astounded by how much there is for sale. There are several rooms filled to the brim with furniture - and even better, the furniture is all of incredibly good quality. Here you will find lots of lovely sofas, tables, chairs, beds and much more - all for a very reasonable price indeed. I was really surprised at how good the quality of everything is as it's not necessarily what you might expect from a second-hand store. Alongside the shop, there is also a cafe. I didn't stop to try the food as I wasn't hungry at the time but I will certainly be back to try on another occasion. The food looked and smelled delicious and was so reasonably priced - £5.50 for an all-day fry-up! I will absolutely be visiting this place again and would very much encourage others to do so as well.

It's a big…read moresprawling place, which occupies two buildings- there are numerous rooms filled to the brim with bric-a-brac, furniture, kitchenware and more. If you need a chest of drawers, a bedside table or a desk, it's definitely worth visiting Emmaus to check out what they've got. They often have really lovely 30s and 40s pieces...a couple of times I've had to tear myself away from gorgeous art deco dressing tables, simply because I don't have the space. Prices are really reasonable here, a book shelf or a cabinet will cost somewhere in the region of £10-£25 depending on style and condition. The housewares section is really great too: you can pick up all sorts of kitchen appliances, vases, and chinaware for next to nothing. As is always the way with charity shops, sometimes there's nothing interesting, but sometimes you'll find an absolute gem. The book section is really great, you can often buy 3 books for £1, which is an absolute bargain! They also have a funny little broom cupboard full of paintings and prints...quite often they're not priced and prices are invented at the till, meaning it's quite possible you'll walk away with an absolute steal! Last time I was there I was charged £2 for a beautiful painting and a really cool plant pot! Not only is this a really great place to pick up a bargain, it is also a charity well worth supporting. Emmaus help homeless people to rebuild their lives, by providing work and a home in a supportive community.
