The Store of Requirement

Wizards, witches and any Hogwarts hopefuls will be well-rewarded by a visit to The Store of Requirement in Samford.

As discerning buyers move away from the one-size-fits-all shopping experience with sales people not versed on their product, there are plenty of stores doing it the old-fashioned way and dedicated to one area of specialty. And, even if you're not after what’s on offer - handmade wares, shoes, music, games and bike shops - they’re worth a browse.
