Today would have been David's 80th Birthday. Whilst we are still mourning David's passing last week, join us in taking a moment throughout the day to think about what would have been a celebration of his life
love you David

As some of you may have been aware. The shop is currently shut this week whilst David sorts out some important issues. We are hoping normal service can resume soon.
I didnt manage to get a note added to the door.

We have been busy in the shop today and worked late this evening to get some of the vinyl records priced and out on display. Please pop in for a browse. We will have more on display shortly.
Many different artists available including Metallica, Motley crew, Bonjovi, The Beatles, Elvis and much more…
We have trawled the internet and aimed to beat most prices. Discounts available on multiple purchases.

Whilst I’m at it with the notifications.
Apologies for the lack of posts on the page, myself and David have been really busy.

David is currently going through a house move which has occupied his mind and time of late. Hopefully in the next few weeks everything will be sorted and focus can be aimed back at the shop.

Plans for the shop in 2025:
-New drinks fridge selling an array of cold drinks at the best prices.
-New stock in the ice cream freezer including the retailing of a local ice cream parlours range ready for the scorching summer we are due.
-*Records* some of you will have remembered buying records from David in the past. We will be back selling Vinyl Records and CD’s at great prices. (I’m still in the process of sorting them out).

We will also be looking at improving how certain ranges are displayed. Whilst this occurs we will hold sales to clear out some of our older stock so please keep an eye out for what’s on offer.

Thanks for your patience and continued custom.

Benhams of Edwinstowe team (predominately David).

Hi All
Apologies for the lack of updates on the Benham's page.
I have been busy travelling the country and David's been occupied tidying up the shelves behind him (for the last 2 years) 🤣.
The shop is very much still open, Ill be in tomorrow tidying around and helping out. If your passing call in and say Hello. Plenty of Christmas present ideas, Christmas cards and as per usual models on display. Pretty sure we still have some advent calendars left (I know we are already on the 8th December but who doesn't love opening loads of chocolate filled windows), will Reduce these calendars tomorrow.
Be nice to see you all at some point before Christmas and for those that wont make it in the shop before the big red guy turns up (David still has the suit somewhere), then David and the team at Benhams would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

Our Plans for 2024:
New Benhams Instagram Page
New Benhams Website
New drinks fridge
Oh and tidying the shelves behind the desk for the 3rd year running.
Also we will be at the Mansfield Model Show again next year.

Fingers crossed the sunny weather returns at some point in the not to distant future. I’ve got decorating to do at home so perfect weather to be stuck indoors for me.

Whilst we stock a mixture of items perfect for getting outside (obviously not today), we also stock a large selection of indoor toys, board games and puzzles. Model kits from starter sets to complex models. Art sets, drawing books and even good old fashioned marbles.
Or if technology has to be involved why not have a movie duvet day. Pop in see the new look shop and pick up a large bag of your favourite sweets.
Pop in to Benhams for today we are open 10am to 4pm.
Whatever you decide to do we hope you have a great weekend.
