New Mugs!

Two lovely new mugs from Nicholas John Frith and HelloWilson are now available on our website.

These microwave and dishwasher safe mugs join other mugs from the Beast in Show range including Tea and Bears also by Nicholas John Frith and Gemma Correll's Pugs Not Drugs mug.

The handy thing about an elephant barista is that he'll never forget your favourite blend. Let's just hope he doesn't crush you when he stampedes out of the door when he sees that little mouse! Simply put, if you're a coffee imbiber you can't do better than this awesome cup of joe.

The surprise picture at the bottom of this mug is some super-cute coffee beans and the phrase 'bean and gone'... get it?!? Ach, nobody's too cool for a good pun.

You know what they say, many hands make light work and all that. Hopefully the highly decorated, super-helpful Octopus on this mug will give you a hand (or eight) with the housework whilst you sit down and put your feet up with a cuppa.

The surprise picture inside this mug is a tentacle that will creep up out of your tea whilst you're not looking!

Extended! - Andy Smith Sunny Side Up Exhibition

We've extended the Andy Smith show until the end of the month as it's been such a popular show and we're getting loads of people wanting to come and see it before it comes down.

So instead of finishing this Saturday, it will run to Wednesday 31st August. We may extend it a little longer but if you haven't come to see it yet and plan to, there's a little more time to do so!
