I can't believe no one has yet reviewed this fabulous find for antiques! I stumbled upon this…read morewonderful shop two years ago before I moved to Exeter from Canada. At the time, I found a beautiful pewter dish for my mother's birthday present that I brought all the way back on the plane with me. It has since taken its place in the centre of her dining table, as she loves it so much. Now that I have moved here, I decided that I should once again go back to this beautiful, inviting shop to have another look around. I was fortunate enough to find a gorgeous and reasonably priced Arts and Crafts side table for my living room. There was a lovely woman working there when I went in with my husband, and we found her to be very helpful, welcoming and kind. She really made us feel welcome in the store, and was very patient as we asked her questions and looked around. The pieces on offer are very good quality, and there are a number of unusual finds. We were excited to learn that they will be expanding the shop in the New Year! We will definitely be back to Exeter Antique Lighting. :)

The shop is sectioned, with each person renting a section to show there antiques off. Some things can be quite expensive, however there are soom good bargains to be had and its great fun looking through all the stuff. We certainly spent along time looking all around and purchased a few interesting items. Its open 7 days a week, 10am to 5pm in the winter, and 10am to 6pm in the summer from easter onwards,

A marvellous old secondhand bookshop over three floors with at least two rooms on each. I've been…read morecoming here for over 20 years to buy and sell books. The people are very friendly, and honest too - they have pointed out to me more than once that a book I was hoping to sell them was worth more than I'd thought! Once I took a carrier bag full of old books expecting to get about £20 but I came away with £200! Mind you, that doesn't happen every day but I happened to have a valuable first edition in the bag on that occasion, and it illustrates the honesty of the owners well. I have bought a lot of books here too and half the fun has been browsing. It's such a marvellous old building and the books are laid out nicely with the wooden shelves clearly labelled, so it's easy to find all the different categories. There are books on most subjects and a good classics and general fiction section - paperbacks as well as hardbacks - something for everyone! There's a pay and display car park immediately opposite.

Shockingly, someone told me that this magnificent and oh so friendly shop is actually part of a much larger and voracious chain of paper sellers and newsagents who trade under the same name. Surely not. I mean can you imagine a bland corporate identity and an obsession with removing as much money from your purse as possible being identified with this wonderful shop? God forbid.

The main downside that I have found is that the floor is very slippy on the ground floor, so if you don't have very grippy shoes you could easily slip over, or if it got wet. Nicely laid out, with all the usual Debenhams stuff. There is a cafe on the top floor, with comfy seating, but it is quite small and seems to be quite expensive too. It's ok though, although queues always seem long!

It's a 'not-for-profit organisation' They collect unwanted books from donations etc, if you can find the certain book you want, you pay whatever you wish!

There are 100's of books in this tiny little gem of a bookshop and loads of different genres. It's worth taking a look, cos you'll probably be surprised what you find.
