A local gift shop has announced that it will be closing after Christmas.

Peeky's Quirky Gifts, owned by Stephen and Kelly Brant, will be closing on 6 January, and the team are hosting a closing down sale over the Christmas period.

Partners in marriage and business, Stephen and Kelly Brant opened the doors to Peeky's in January 2023, selling handmade and one-off gifts and furniture in the former home of Shoecraft on South Street.

Christmas was set to be the decider for the shop, with the hope that a boost in festive trade would save the day for the independent store.

However, this was not destined to be, and the duo will be closing the doors on their venture on Saturday 6 January, a year after the shop opened.

Those who have used the shop over the last year have reported "friendly service, extremely good value and a diverse range of extraordinary and well made bits and bobs", and "a great local shop run by a creative pair".
