I was also very pleased to see that it's a very good place to buy wools and yarn of different colours, and a full range of sewing threads and accessories very useful indeed (I hadn't realised that there was anywhere in Largs where I could buy these things). There are also secondhand clothes, books and DVDs. The lady who was working in there was very friendly. I shall visit again soon!

Full of curiosities, oddities and rarities, the Panopticon shop is a must see for lovers of vintage fashion, and a great pit stop if you're looking for a retro bargain. Expect to see anything from gramaphones, WW2 gas masks, old dusty books and vintage postcards in here. The staff have made a fantastic effort to turn the back of the shop into a vintage treasure trove, with scores of second hand clothes being displayed from endless rails. There are some real finds to be grabbed in here and at times it feels more like a museum than a shop - the items have weathered the sands of time well! Most importantly of all, it has seemed to raise the profile of the Panopticon music hall, and has undeniably been part of the intricate and successful plan to bring it back to life. After visiting the grand old building, turn the corner and turn back time by visiting here - a vintage store at half the price!

My stop was a quick one; we popped in for a speedy browse before heading to kick off our southside charity shop crawl at The Corner Shop on Dukes Road. I so wish I could have stayed longer, but the agenda was second-hand shopping in Dennistoun and a busy day loomed ahead. It's a little bit hectic, a little bit tight on space and a little bit thrown-together but it's really the kind of shop which merits a half hour browse, as there's lots to see. So, I only had time for a quick look-see, but that was just enough to have me excited for my next visit, and a proper browse.

I routinely clear out my clothes year to year and have handed in a few bundles of clothes here and happily at that. There are also clothes to buy in here, but they are hit and miss. They do however stock a reasonable selection of books and I have picked up a few for my Dad over the years who assumes cost me £10-£15. Oh how wrong he is. Warm friendly place that is rarely empty.

Kids up to the age of 16 can come here to play for the day for as little as 50p and enjoy all sorts of outdoor activities including a tyre swing, an assault course and various outdoor activities as well as football pitches, tennis and basketball courts. There is something here for everyone, from indoor art and craft activities and soft play areas for the young ones, to go-karting and parachute games for the bigger kids. I think this place is a great Dennistoun organisation for local kids and I only wish I was still of age to go here and zoom along on the tyre swing.
