I visited the Hat shop this morning looking for a hat for my son's wedding in August, all I can say is what an amazing shop and the two ladies that were serving today were amazing and I think went above and beyond so knowledgeable and friendly, I purchased a hat for myself and my mom. I will highly recommend the shop to anyone.

Great shop with an amazing choice of hats. I recently hired a hat for my son’s wedding. There was no need to book an appointment, I was made to feel very welcome and felt relaxed trying on many different styles. I narrowed it down to a couple and returned another day with my dress and my mother, who also needed to hire a hat. The shop is deceptively big and there is such a huge selection of colours and styles, it’s hard to believe that you wouldn’t find what you’re looking for. Highly recommend and will be back if I ever need another hat. Thank you

Fantastic little shop, Sam who runs the place was brilliant. Gave you all the time in the world to try everything on and passed her experienced thoughts on. Want a hat ? Don't go anywhere else. Thank you

Visited this shop yesterday with my mum for a MOB hat. Such a lovely warm and welcoming experience. A HUGE selection of hats/facinators to purchase or rent. We didn’t need to book and just turned up. Super friendly staff who genuinely cared. They have a changing room so mum could wear her outfit whilst trying out different colours and styles. I very rarely write reviews but after such a positive experience I felt it was required. Would and already have highly recommend, Thankyou x
