Welcome to our Traditional Toy Shop,
 catering for first as well as second childhoods.

Visit our unique shop in the beautiful Lake District and see the train go round the toy display!

We have been designing & manufacturing traditional wooden toys since 1985.

 

Our workshop and Toy Shop are at Holly House, Askham, Penrith in Cumbria
within a traditional 17th century bank barn in the centre of this picturesque village.
Stone walls, beamed ceilings and cobbles - this is not your average Toy Shop, as our many visitors have discovered. Why not pay us a visit when you are up this way and bring a 20p coin so you can watch the Toy Works Express chug around the toy display in the old byre.
 

Bring along your old teddy for repair in our Teddy Hospital.

Apart from our own toys, it will stock a wide range of good quality old-fashioned toys that you may have found difficult to find in the average toy shop. If we don't stock it, we can usually tell you where to find it or try to order it for you! Plus we even repair broken toys and restore antique rocking horses, dollshouses, teddies and dolls.
