I just love these stores. Its like a toy shop for adults. They sell things like Master Maze. A ball…read morebearing game that one has to weave through a maze. And lots of magic tricks for very little cost. They even stock an accordian for £17.99p. And what about a wooden xylophone? Or buy a harmonica! Now who doesn't want the Evel Knieval dare devil set! Or Jelly babies that are modelled on old people called Jellyatrics. They even have a Snoopy sno-cone maker. The big one is the worlds smallest micro-brewery. It can make 30 pints! Average cost of pint is quoted as £1.38p. There is a choice f bitter or pilsner. http://www.hawkin.com

Service is good but the tills are a bit slow but they can be because your kids wont leave until you have got them something.

For my kids, this was a highlight of our trip. 7 floors with really well organized and wide…read moreselection of toys. A ton of demonstrations happening with fun staff as well to make it very special. The staff definitely give off a "Disney" vibe. Pricing was a little higher than I'd like to pay, but overall the experience added to it so we bit the bullet and bought a few toys on our trip. It's well worth it for your kids if you want to visit - nothing like it in the US

I heard this was the toy store of all toy stores and it indeed was. There were 7 floors of product,…read moreeach dedicated to a theme. Suitable for all ages. There were many photo opportunities and lots of demonstrations as well. The sales people worked for the store and there was no pressure at all. We were there a little under an hour and discovered many new items. Our kids really enjoyed the lego and Wicked themed areas. There is also a cotton candy machine where you can watch it being made through the glass, all automated. We somehow left without purchasing anything due to our inability to take it back home.

Very small compared to some of the huge chains of toy store that seem to be around these days…read more However it is packed full of toys and is actually a bit less daunting than the huge stores. They carry a really good range of power ranger toys, best in the area. Staff always seem very friendly and helpful. Has a much more personal feel than the huge stores, I would definately recommend this shop.

Hamlins toy shop used to be located on the High Street but moved to Lower Kings Road a few years…read moreago, I presume to take advantage of the larger premises. The shop is always well stocked with a variety of childrens toys, including some you are unlikely to find in many supermarkets. Reasonably priced, this would be the ideal place to purchase a child's Christmas present. How the shop survives the rest of the year I do not know, but it always seems to be fairly bustling, so I suggest combining a visit with a trip to Waitrose or something. It's not worth heading in to town for a visit alone, but be sure to bear it in mind.
