Cool stuff for kids at pop up sales

kids designer clothing salePop up shops are – quite literally – popping up all over the place these days.

They’re a great way to buy things you might not normally find on your local High Street. And when the items on sale come with up to 70 per cent off, well what’s not to like?!

For all the mums out there with children aged between 0 and 13, here’s one – well, three actually – where you can bag a designer bargain for the kids.

If you’re Nottingham-based, you can shop for your tots from 11am to 3.30pm on Wednesday 22 April at The Riverbank Bar & Kitchen in West Bridgford.

And for mums in and around Newark, there’ll be two chances to enjoy these great offers – from 10am to 3pm on either Thursday 23 April at Tom Browns Brasserie in Gunthorpe or Friday 24 April at Farndon Boathouse Bar and Kitchen.

Each of the three stylish venues hosting the Designer Children’s Clothes Sale this month is offering shoppers a 20 per cent discount on food during the event. Just follow the links above for their telephone numbers and quote ‘pop up sale’ when you book a table for lunch…

Everything’s a pound!

pound coinsWe all love bargains, right? And where better to bag a few than in our local charity shops?

If you’re a dedicated bargain hunter, this has to be a date for your diary – for three hours only on Sunday 30 November, any item in the Children’s Society shop on Middlegate in Newark can be yours for just one pound!

That’s right – from 11am to 2pm hundreds of items of ladies’ clothing will be up for grabs in this special sale, everything from tops and trousers to dresses and even coats.

And that’s not all. Kids’ clothing, jewellery, CDs, DVDs and games will all be two for £1 and you can pick up three books for £1 too!

With a tombola and cakes (yes, you’ve guessed it – they’re £1 as well), it all sounds like an opportunity that’s too good to be missed…
