The Barn has lots of bargains if you look regularly
Great charity shop - I have bought many things here over the years including toys, DVDs, furniture, a holdall, odd bits of clothing. Lovely friendly people.
Great place - never know what you will find and always excellent value! Sad to see some negative reviews where people have come near closing time - make sure to come early to get those bargains...
Wonderful charity shop. They're the largest charity shop in Cambridge with one of the cheapest prices. The volunteers are very helpful and kind.
Arrived at the shop with 10 minutes until closing, and was turned away at the door. I understand opening hours have changed due to COVID, however if shops don’t abide by amended hours it makes it hard to support them. I walked two miles in the rain and was turned away with no reason given. Very disappointing customer service.
