The Mugwump

This shop was part of my childhood. I came to Durham to see a family member and we so pleased to see it still standing. It’s a fab gift shop and perfect for browsing.

Still my favourite shop in Durham after 30 years! This quirky building delights with tiny rooms rickety stairs and sloping floors. There are 6 rooms over 3 floors with cards beauty fashion toys and homewares. The wrapping paper selection is particularly good.

This charming shop truly is a treasure trove! As an avid jellycat collector I come by whenever I can to see the new releases! Despite the small size of each section each room in this building is choc full of whimsy and character! If you ever find yourself in Durham please give this place a try there's so much to see!
