Our unique service for visitors from afar
Visiting by air
Our nearest airports are Newcastle upon Tyne and Durham Tees Valley. We are midway
between them, though Newcastle is perhaps easier to arrange flights to and from due
to their larger number of air-operators. There are several low cost flights from the likes
of Easyjet to help you.
We will happily collect you from your flight an take you to the shop, then back to the
airport or perhaps into Newcastle or the Metrocentre Gateshead where you can enjoy a
relaxing meal and browse around the shops there.
We will be able to collect up to 3 people at any single time, so that’s a good
opportunity for both the mother of the bride and groom plus the daughter to
accompany to choose something together. This is a no cost service, though the driver
would welcome a small tip for his use of time and fuel. Completely discretionary of
course.
Visiting by sea
We do occasionally collect visitors from the North Shields Ferry, including a baroness on
the last UK sailing of the old QE2 before it went into retirement.
We will happily collect you from the port and take you to the shop, then back to the port
or perhaps into Newcastle or the Metrocentre Gateshead where you can enjoy a relaxing
meal and browse around the shops there. If you have to book an overnight stay we will
drop you at your hotel.
We will be able to collect up to 3 people at any single time, so that’s a good opportunity
for both the mother of the bride and groom plus the daughter to accompany to choose
something together.
This is a no cost service, though the driver would welcome a small tip for his use of time
and fuel. Completely discretionary of course.
Visiting by rail
Our nearest mainline railway station is Durham and the nearest branch line for
convenience is at Seaham. This is best for us but Durham is no problem either.
We will happily collect you at the station and take you to the shop, then back to the
station or perhaps into Durham City Centre where you can enjoy a relaxing meal and
browse around the shops there. The Cathedral was voted the UK’s most popular
Cathedral in a number of polls.
We will be able to collect up to 3 people at any single time, so that’s a good opportunity
for both the mother of the bride and groom plus the daughter to accompany to choose
something together. This is a no cost service, though the driver would welcome a small
tip for his use of time and fuel. Completely discretionary of course.
Visiting by car
The map for our shop is on the Contact Page
We are only a half mile from the A19 dual carriageway between Peterlee and Seaham
and the shop is at the bottom of the village green directly across from the bus shelter.
The road (Sunderland Road) is no entry from Seaside Lane and it’s signed as access
only from the other end which is what you’ll be doing, ie accessing it.
If you are close by and need directing in then just call and we’ll guide you from
wherever we are.
NB. It has happened more than once that someone driving to us has input Easington
into her satnav and found herself at a place of the same name down on the coast near
Whitby. About 60 miles away. Use our postcode for preference, SR8 3AU

Appointment needed
No transport but live sort of local?
We appreciate that a number of people who would like to visit us have no personal transport
available to them. There is a bus stop directly in front of the shop on Sunderland Road,
Easington Village and the buses come by very regularly. If a bus you could catch doesn’t go past
the shop but does go to Peterlee Terminus than we’ll collect you from there as well. Just let us
know in advance.
Other people who have special needs and are stuck for a lift and who live within the Tyneside to
Teesside region and as far out as Bishop Auckland can arrange for a home collection. Once
more, this needs to be arranged in advance to avoid potential clashes with other visitor
collections
