Thrift Stores in Maidstone, Kent

“Always a great place for picking up a decent book or two at a reasonable price. Has a great selection of SF books, romance, art, music, movies, history, DVDs etc. Friendly staff as well. Quite a turnover of books so grab it if you see a favourite book as it is likely to be gone by your next visit (I have learnt that at my cost many a time). Probably the best secondhand book shop in Maidstone (though some of the others are not bad either)”

“Took in some clothes to donate. But they do not sell clothes at this shop - but they took them anyway to send to their shops that do. Very appreciative of their help - and bought a lovely vintage style piece of kitchenware too! One of the nicer charity shops to visit with everything nicely laid out - and parking right outside.”

“Very friendly charity shop with lovely selection of clothing....bric a brac....and sometimes antiques !!!! Staff always friendly and theres always a smile and a joke.”

“Located along the high street and can be seen from a distance away front the shop. Also not to be confused with the clothes shop that’s also near by. They have a good level of items in store for people to choose what they really like and even though it is second products they are still of high quality. They give you option to maybe not spending the going rate but still experiencing luxury to some extent. They have volunteers in store, also playing there part to raise funds for the British heart foundation charity.”

“Whenever i'm walking down Gabrials Hill, i always make sure i pop in Cancer Research UK. The cancer research shops are great, especially as its for such a great cause. The Maidstone shop is very small, but always has a wide range of lovely second hand clothes, hand bags, bric a brac, books, DVDS, CD's. It also has lots of new bits, which are idea for gifts to people. The shop is always very clean and tidy and the staff are always happy to help you if you are trying to find something inparticular. The store is run by volunteers, who give there time to help this charity.”

“A charity shop trying to achieve the best it can do with as many donations for the generous community. The products are of reasonable quality to high quality and that can be a problem in it self. Especially to the audience that is variable at best. However, they have been donated products so it’s understandable and they are volunteers doing there best to engage all the customers. This is a really small shop and there be a limit on number of people in store for safety reasons.”
