Christmas Shipping & Holiday Shutdown Dates

Apparently a particularly popular festival is taking place in December...

We are closed from December 24th to December 28th, and on January 1st to 3rd. Yup, that's all the time off we get. Two days more than 2019. The website will still take orders during our absence and any orders over this period will be despatched on Tuesday, Dec 29th to 31st, then January 4th onwards.

All regular mail and orders going by courier will be despatched up to the 22nd but please order early. These are the Royal Mail posting dates for delivery before Xmas.
