Merlins of Wakefield

Merlins of Wakefield has been supplying magicians for over 20 years. With a REAL shop you can actually visit in the centre of Wakefield, they are not just a website! There is always a professional magician on hand to answer questions and help you, no matter whether you are a novice or a full time pro!

Merlin's are the UK's Premier Magic and Illusion supplier, in my opinion. Mark and Phil's knowledge and insight into every kind of magic trick you can think of is second to none and encourages / inspires would-be and established magicians alike. I always head to Merlin's first when I need / want a new magic trick!

Hawksby's

Reviewed By Crispinhj - Skipton, United Kingdom

We come to Haworth a lot, since we moved here a couple of years ago almost every visitor wants us to take them here - usually on the KWVR heritage railway much to my wife's disappointment! This is one of th eplaces we nearly always go to but it's a risky business as there are so many lovely things that it's hard to go out of the shop without spending more than you intended. Artists from the local area or further afield are represented and there is everything, prints, paintings, sculptures and ceramics. Nobody should visit Haworth without calling in

Fantastic fragrance shop. They have an amazing selection of both branded perfumes and and their own creations, along with an array of raw ingredients and even car fresheners. The perfumes I purchased are all incredibly strong and smell fantastic. Illy was super helpful, letting me sample everything I wanted, offering advice and suggestions when needed.

Totally Awesome

Based in quirky Hebden Bridge and the historic Piece Hall in Halifax we are a retail shop selling high quality games, puzzles, toys, scooters, skateboards, kites, flying toys, remote control cars, drones and other cool stuff. We have a loyal following and appeal to local and out of town visitors. Our staff are always interactive, knowledgeable and friendly. Shopping at Totally Awesome is a unique experience with many of our products open on the demonstration areas. We actively encourage you to come along and get involved. We always enjoy showing many of our unique and interesting products, many of which you won't find in a high street toy store. We're proud to be different and you won't find many stores like Totally Awesome in the UK.
