The Treasure Trove is a new pop-up store, selling pre-loved clothing and household items, such as clothes, bric-a-brac, toys, books and textiles, just two doors down from the Co-op, in the old book shop, on Front Street.

It is open from Wednesday to Sunday.

Alison McCarthy, who is one of the the 20-strong team of volunteers at The Treasure Trove, said: “The Co-op itself was struggling and as they had the empty space, we decided to run a pop-up shop as pre-loved outlet.
