This is a large furniture warehouse outlet for Willen Hospice Charity. They have a large selection…read moreof furniture here, beds, wardrobes, sofa's, tables amongst smaller items as well right down to games and cutlery. I found some of the items to be a bit tatty and worn out for the price they were trying to charge, eg a bedside cabinet covered in stickers that had been half pulled off and was chipped and scraped for £30. You could get one from Ikea for cheaper and not have to put in a lot of work to try and get it sorted. Although other items were well priced and you can find a bargain. I think it is a fab idea as it is earning money for Willen Hospice which is an amazing organisation and it is recycling as well. They do a delivery service if you need it for your large items as well which is pretty handy. There are marked parking bays outside but it is pretty busy here so you may have to park out on the roadside and walk over.

A lovely little place. Tucked out of the way so hard to find if you don't know the area but only a…read more10 minute walk from Coventry City Centre. It's a really safe place for young children with a large soft play area with soft slides and climbing frames. There's also a small separate bit at the end of the main soft play where younger, smaller or less confident children can play on a smaller scale soft play area. They have some outdoor activity but that is only open during good weather. It's is just over £2 for an hour and a half and is open day times until 4pm. The price is per child. Refreshments are available at a reasonable price although there is only a fairly small selection. They serve hot drinks, cold drinks and cold snacks. You have to give the name of each child as you go in and out. There is only one way out so you know your kids are safe because you can see them. It is suitable for children from toddlers to around age 12.

A great little charity shop based just inside the Coventry Road. The had a refit about a year ago…read moreto spruce the shop up a bit, and I will admit it was a little worrying when for a while after it looked more like a boutique than a charity shop, but it is settling back into itself nicely now. Sells all the clothes, bric a brac, books etc you would expect (although no childrenswear, and toys can be a bit hit and miss), along side some great quality new goods such as wooden toys, gifts and seasonal ranges. The staff are wonderfully friendly and helpful. Wheelchair/buggy access can be a bit tight due to space allowances, and there is one step into the building.
