Brilliant antiques and collectables centre. The stock and sellers change regularly so it's always interesting. They are often willing to do a deal and I have bought so many quality items over the years at a fraction of auction prices. The cafe is excellent, fresh home cooking and absolutely lovely staff. Easy to get to and parking is free. Surprisingly child friendly with lots pocket money things for them.
Really love The Den as it’s an antique shop which offers so much variety and some really interesting items. It’s easy to find but whilst car parking is plentiful, the car park itself could do with some new tarmac. However, it’s definitely worth a visit as it’s easy to pass an hour or two wandering round and perusing the items for sale. It also has a cafe if you want to stop for coffee and cake.
What a brilliant place to find some great items. This place is a very large antique/ collectors shop. We spent a few hours here and I think we all bought a few items. The staff were friendly and helpful and the prices were good.
Upstairs is a cafe which does hot and cold food and drinks. Our waitress was brilliant as we had a few allergies in our party but this was no problem as they adjusted the menu items 👍
I thought The Den was looking the best it had in ages. They seem to be leaning towards lots of British Ceramics and have some fantastic selections. I bought a few pieces but I was short on time so I will be back again soon to have a good root into every corner
Great place bought Gate leg table good prices
Great range of goodies for sale via 100+ independent traders selling vintage, retro, collectors items and modern goods. Tidy,clean layout, free parking. Cafe area upstairs and more stalls, normally open 7 days a week. Check their site for current details.
I has been to Christchurch, then went to the Den. A really good antiques centre. Something for everyone. It's well worth a visit. Also a very good tea room, a small menu but good quality. The customer service in tea room was outstanding.
Found this place outside our area and thought we would have a look, a little unassuming from the front (beware the pot holes going in) ... But once in you will be pleasantly surprised with the various collections inside and there's more upstarts!! We decided to have some lunch at the café upstairs as the smell of bacon made us hungry and our meal was tasty plus the price was excellent value.
There is always something new to look at and buy here. At the weekend this place is buzzing and very buzy. I like going during the week as it can be a little calmer and you can really enjoy your time. Bargains are to be found here, staff are good fun and friendly.
The Den is a must for people who want an eclectic market of antiques, collectibles, jewelry, vintage clothes and some very quirky items! It's an Aladdin's cave of treasures where the individual stall holders lots are under one roof and you pay at the desk in the foyer. Spread over two floors, you will definitely bag a bargain. Afterwards, you can usually have a hot drink and cake in the upstairs cafe but with Covid restrictions at the moment, that's not possible. I have taken lots of photos so that you can browse a lot of the stalls, which replenish their stock on a regular basis so you can keep returning again and again, as I do, whenever I'm in the area!
Enjoy the photos!
