What a great place to look around, I could have spent hours in there. They have everything from large furniture pieces, rugs and fireplace surrounds to all manner of antique and old-fashioned pottery, jewellery, art, crockery and ornaments. You name it, they've probably got it. Managed to restrict ourselves to half a dozen items. Amazing place, I'd highly recommend!

The variety of goods here are astonishing, with a little bit for everyone. It's a shame that the cafe is closed on a Monday, but there is still access to the seating area for people who have reduced mobility, and to the toilets too. I will definitely visit again.

Love this place! We often go down in the afternoon to explore. It's an Aladdin's cave of treasures. So much bigger on the inside and with tunnels, back rooms, cupboards and nooks it will keep you busy for several hours. You can find everything here from large furniture such as dining room tables and cabinets to a draw full of buttons and stamps.

Had to play "hunt the antique". A lot of average vintage and near new reproduction "decorative" things but not much genuinely antique. Wear a coat if you think you may want to spend a bit of time in there. We were passing so pleased we didn't make a trip specifically

Great selection of products, amazing how much stuff is actually in there. Really helpful staff too that knew where basically everything was, we came looking for specific things and they were able to point us in the right direction. Very fair prices too! Nice little find

Being one of life's moochers, I always enjoy my visit to looking around the diverse items in this place. I have a bacon roll with a cuppa, look at all the stuff, then head back to the cafe for a coffee and cake. Good to visit if it's too wet to be outside.

I Really enjoyed the morning in the curiosity centre After a super tasty breakfast from the caffe

Great place for a windy wet day, miles of it and all undercover. We were particularly looking for drinking glasses and found an amazing array to choose from so that was sorted. I also wanted some rugs of which there were plenty but unfortunately no help visible so we were unable to even consider making purchases of that type. A pity as I had all my floor measurements with, I'll return when next in Dorset. There's a great cafe serving brunches, lunches, coffee, tea, cake and more - great veggie choices available. A bit rough underfoot so, if like me you're a bit deficient in the pins department you'll need to watch your step. Friendly and happy enterprise to visit...

This is one of our favourite places, it's full of beautiful antiques and has a lovely cafe and toilets.

Large variety of vintage items for the house, garden, and women, but perhaps not enough for men's hobbies. Food is excellent if not a little expensive.

Great place for browsing and reminiscing. A place you can easily spend a couple of hours. You can even get a cup of tea if you're there on the right days. Great for finding that obscure piece that you can build a room around. Great for a bargin while saving the planet and recycling/upcycling furniture. Always worth a visit.

Fantastic place always full of interesting items, a varied range of prices, but bargains always to be found. Good delivery prices also, Fantastic Cafe in there too 😊

Worthy of a browse... You will probably walk out with something !! Great Caffe inside too 👍

One of my favourite places to spend a few hours. Great cafe too. If you visit in winter, wear an extra jumper.

You can spend hours there looking at stuff & you always find something. It's bigger than you think & the prices are reasonable too. The inhouse cafe is great, comfortable, good food & really dog friendly too (& gave my 2 a biscuit too, so my dogs loved it so much they didn't want to leave). It's all on the ground level & lots of it are disabled accessible but some asiles are too tight for a wheelchair but navigable on crutches, but the staff are willing to help if needs be.

Great for looking around loads of things you do have to move things sometimes to see what on the shelf. Prices I found a little expensive. But no doubt a bit of bargaining mite help. Will certainly keep my eye on this one

Brilliant, what a great team behind a great variety of everything. Lost 5 hours in there and barely scratched 20% of it. A big thank you to all involved. Mark & (well, not so much) lol, Deanne.

Cafe is really good, limited menu but good quality and well presented. The centre is in an old bus station and is always cold, so wrap up before visiting. Most traders sell vintage/retro goods, but there are also antiques. Like any antiques place, you never know whether there will be stuff that you like, but it's always worth looking. Parking is right outside, so very convenient.

I find always something interesting and of value. Plus there are loads of antique and vintage stuff to admire. Excellent place to spend a few extra minutes if anyone has.

There seems to be less antique and more house clearance than in former years though obviously stock changes fairly regularly and it's about being in the right place at the right time. Frequent quick whip rounds are essential. I'd like to see more "curiosity" and less stock pine furniture you can buy elsewhere or late old lady belongings. I go several times a year and have done since it opened. It's one of the larger of such places, great staff. The coffee and cake are very good quality but the room you sit in is extremely drab. Wear a good warm jumper or coat, it's often colder than outside and in winter leaves you frozen right to the bone. It's one of my favourite places to visit but I've dropped from 5 to 4 stars recently. I wish they would be more fussy with their sellers stock. It would be a terrible shame if it just became an indoor flea market.

Good for a rummage, items can be pricey. Good cafe and price very fair, nice environment to sit in and have a snack .

The most amazing place full of treasures! Best day out is here looking at different things, lots of antique and vintage stuff!!

Hit and miss depending on the day. I bought some items on my first visit but the finishes on them were poor quality and were damaged very quickly by routine use. I was refused a refund and they blamed me for the damage.

Great place full of interesting things. Well laid out and easy to navigate. Felt it was a little on the pricey side, but still well worth a perusal
