The only way to add height to my window displays is with balloons - and Jeff and the team always come up trumps when I come calling. Great service, quick turnaround, and really efficient too. Friendly staff, and always greeted with a smile. One of my favourite shops in town!

How helpful Penco are! I needed to inflate baloons and find weights to help our window display. Jeff sorted it all out in time and we're chuffed with the result. I was amazed at the choice of balloons and accessories - perfect for a parties and that special occassion. Thanks for service with a smile and the "pop" jokes!

Just thought the service from Jeff was fabulous, nothing was too much trouble, he was so polite, helpful, friendly but thoroughly professional. At the current time when I find good customer service is increasingly hard to come by in the retail sector particularly, I feel compelled to note that a visit to Penco made a thoroughly refreshing change! We should be able to expect this service everywhere but it doesn't happen so it's a real pleasure to visit somewhere where customers are treated properly!! Thanks for a lovely shopping experience.

I found the shop packed with so many wonderful things for all kinds of arts & crafts. The shop assistant was soooo helpful & nothing was too much trouble. What more could you ask for? Unfortunately this is not always the case in some shops, we need more like this :-)

Where to start? This shop is an Aladdin's cave of goodies(I make cards). I find it is a magnet which I can't resist. If I can't find something Jeff or one of his staff are willing and able to help. A friendly atmosphere and a wonderful selection. What more can you want-I could spend hours here

The shop is packed with exciting crafting paraphernalia. They always have what you need and if you can't find it they will do it for you. Also like the fact that if there is a choice of products they point out the one on offer............saving my pennies!

This is a fantastic shop to go to for all your art or craft equipment whether you're experienced or a complete novice.The staff are very helpful.If you can't find what you're looking for just ask.Their collectables range,especially Betty Boops,is extensive for a small independant business and again if they haven't got what you want just ask.It's wonderful to get such good service these days.If you're looking for a great idea for a party or that special gift have you tried Pencos balloons.I had some done for my daughters birthday and they received great comments.You'll be amazed at what they can put in a balloon.Not sure what you need,just ask Jeff, he really knows his stuff.

The staff at Penco are always so helpful especially Jeff who offers tips and ideas for my painting and card making hobbies. My partner who is a local school teacher also loves the shop and makes regular visits to buy craft materials for various school projects. The balloons are fantastic and are a great way to make important occasions extra special. You can even have gifts put inside balloons which look fabulous! Oh and one day I will buy myself the Juke Box in the window! Thanks Penco!

I totally agree with the comments made by Diana N!!! It's a great shop and I always have difficulty keeping to my budget!! I too only visit once a fortnight but that is because I travel in from Aylesbury.

Penco stocks everything for cardmaking, scrapbooking, painting and loads of other arts and crafts. The stock is intelligently chosen, beautiful stuff, up-to-the-minute with current styles and projects, and the staff are knowledgeable, enthusiastic people who can help with ideas as well as helping you find exactly what you want. I challenge anyone to visit Penco and not buy something! A word of warning, if all you want is glue- dots or double-sided tape take a list to remind you, otherwise youʼll come out loaded with gorgeous papers, embellishments, cutters, stamps and paints and forget your less exciting stuff! My husband only allows me into Penco once a fortnight!
