    If you are in Brighton, this is a must visit. It never disappoint go get lost in the myriad of corridors and little corners. From medieval armours, to memorabilia, antiquities, second hand clothes and sunglasses. Items are not apparently arranged following any logic, so good ask the stuff if you are after a specific item.

    I purchased 4 decanters and various bits just before Christmas to use as gifts for my homemade booze. They were not cheap. One was £20 and when I came to use it, I noticed it had a big hole in it, it wasn’t obvious because it was hidden in the pattern of the glass. I don’t come to Brighton often so wasn’t easy for me to return. I wasn’t expecting a refund but at the least store credit. The gentleman serving was really polite but he had to ask the manager. Her response was rude and blunt and she said “ what do you want me to do? We are a second hand shop” I always shop here when I’m Brighton but I’m not going to bother anymore. Would much rather go to emmaus in Portslade old village and support a charity rather than a rude women. Much better value for money also.

    I would give this place 5 stars, if not for the rude staff. Otherwise, it was fascinating to peruse aisle upon aisle of relics from the past. It's a massive store with a lot to offer; it's just such a shame that people can't just be nice to others.

    If you can't find that kooky, retro item from your past here then give up. A mix of individual shops with a central pay desk. A great place to just wander about and have a look. "Amazing what people will save and try and sell" areas as well as specialist stalls. Vintage clothing upstairs.

    If there is one store you have to check out in Brighton it is Snoopers Paradise. We walked in thinking let’s take a look at what they have and ended up spending aver an hour there and we still didn’t see all they have to offer. Great friendly team who really help out and spend time with you even though the store is always busy. So so so much to choose from. Products from toys, cloths, antiques, jewellery, painting to almost anything you an imagine from all corners of the globe. Below scores are out of 10 😉 Customer Service   10 😉 Customer Service   10 🙂 Price   10 🙂 Presentation   10 🙂 Products   10 🙂 Location   10 🅿️ Parking:    Lots of paid parking available but is Brighton so it can be expensive to park Overall   10 ⭐️

    Gosh, what a treasure trove. Love these types of stores everywhere you look there is something nice to buy, vintage, retro, collectables and bits and bobs. Definitely worth a visit, be prepared to be in there a while as so many lovely items.

    A delightful maze hosting an incredible selection of old, collectable, new, and not sure! wonderfully set out over 2 levels, a real cave of treasure and wonder. There must be millions of items across the store. You could lose yourself in here for hours! This is a must place to visit whilst in the universally accepting city called Brighton

    We went to this secondhand store on a Sunday afternoon and had fun looking at all the vintage items. We'll be back in the summer to explore other shops around the area.

  • 5/5 Gordon C. 6 months ago on Google
    Lots of variety to see here! I would say that 90% of the stuff here is unique and real "flea market" finds... parts and pieces... buttons and switches... old and antique clothes... some quality repros too... old toys etc The isles and "booths" are very small and cramped with items stacked head to foot, so be careful! Lots of staff available to unlock displays and they helped me out when an item was not priced and the vendor was not in shop. The item was put into a little brown bag behind the cashier counter. They left a message and eventually i got the price. Thanks again!

    Easily spend over an hour in this place, so many cool things. Favorite place to visit in Brighton. Lots of cool collectibles, antiques, and all sorts of curiosities. :)

    Went to Brighton on a day trip via Bill's Coaches from MK, great trip in every way. The Coach trip was nice and relaxing, made a nice change not driving. Brighton itself not been for years and it's a typical British seaside resort, found snoopers paradise down the famous lanes shopping area. What a fantastic shop it is completely rammed full of antiques and collectibles, if you go in be sure to have plenty of cash or your cards with you as you will be buying something. It is a very busy place and on a hot day can get quite stuffy, so if you do not like a sometimes hot, stuffy environment which can be cosy to say the least it might not be the place for you. On the other hand if you get there early it is a lot easier to get around, would recommend a visit.

    Very often come in looking for items to be used as Film Props, and always find what I’m looking for. All of the stalls are laid out so it’s easy to find thing, and are labelled clearly with prices. The staff are very friendly and always happy to help opening cabinets. Most things in there are very affordable, and you can pay by card too. The gangways between stalls are often quite narrow, so especially when it gets busy with all the tourists, it becomes very hard to move around.

    Great place to visit and 'snoop' around! You'll almost always find something you're looking for, and if you're just browsing then you can have hours of entertainment. There's so much to look through as this place is honestly huge. Staff are friendly and always happy to get items out of cases for you. Definitely worth a visit :)

    My daughter was shopping inside this shop, and I was waiting outside because it was boiling and crowded. I positioned myself on a side where is a stall without covering it. A shop assistant came toward me and in a very unpolite way, she said to go away from the shop because I was in front of the stall. For this lady to say please was too hard, and she treated me like an object that she sold.

    I love this place so much. I'd love to buy some clothes from here but I usually end up going just to look around and explore. There's so much to check out and it makes for a fun day out with friends!!

    The store is filled with the most fascinating items I’ve seen. If you like antiques and vintage items you will love the memorable trip back in time that Snoopers Paradise provides

  • 5/5 Michael B. 7 months ago on Google
    This place is well worth a visit. When I saw this Perdio Mini-Six PR24 medium wave and long wave pocket radio for £12.50!!! I broke into a sweat. You can look for years to find one of these in working order. The Mullard OC44, OC45, and OC81 PNP Germanium transistors still function with full gain. The drive cord and metal stand were still intact (extremely rare). When this radio came out in 1960, it retailed for £12 (£256 in todays inflation adjusted money), state of the art technology for its time. Fully working! A museum piece!

    Wish we had Snoopers Paradise in London 😍 We were in Brighton just for one day and went back three times! 😅 You will always find something new. You can find anything you set your mind to and for very fair prices! The photo cabin was a lovely surprise 😍

  • 5/5 Hns S. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff were very kind and went out of their way to wrap the pieces I purchased carefully. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking for unique and well-preserved antiques.

  • 5/5 Vassilis I. 1 year ago on Google
    An absolutely fantastic shop with unlimited choices for everyone who loves old toys,accessories and generally everything from the past. It will take a few hours to hang around and find your way as there are thousands of beautiful objects to buy. I simply loved it ❤️ Highly recommended

  • 5/5 D B. 1 year ago on Google
    Snoopers paradise has all the things that you don't need, but may still buy. A huge variety of items, from clothes, books, vintage models, stuffed animals, old photos, furniture... It's a lovely place and a must-stop in Brighton

  • 5/5 George P. 1 year ago on Google
    What a cool place. After dragging my reluctant kids in, they had a wonderful time trying on all the weird and wonderful sunglasses on. We could have spent hours in here, we only left because they were getting hungry and we needed to grab some food!

  • 5/5 Sam 1 year ago on Google
    This place is awesome. It's just everything you could ever find in here. Staff are really helpful and friendly. A must, even if you aren't buying anything it's really interesting just to take a look around!

  • 5/5 Eréndira D. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place, cool stuff and not expensive.

  • 5/5 Eh 2 years ago on Google
    LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE I love silver jewellery so much and especially rings. They have a great collection of rings at great prices! My boyfriend and I bought each other rings with the same stone but different setting styles. I love them both so much! It’s a great place to wonder round. I went a second time and found a gift for my dad and my best friend (a silver heart bracelet and an antique birthday card), all of very reasonable prices. Can’t wait to return next time I’m in Brighton!

    A riot of colours and knickknacks. Lots of faux antiques and real ones. A couple of nice fudge shops and a few restaurants. Clothes, books, bakeries - has everything in a very bohemian arrangement.

  • 5/5 William I. 2 years ago on Google
    A honeypot for eclectic knick-knacks and paraphernalia. Came out of here with a 1970s German indoor vase and some 1940s Ordnance Survey maps - always full of surprises!

    A great place to wander round and find something interesting. No one bothers you, and prices seem very fair. Well worth a snoop round!!

  • 5/5 Amy 2 years ago on Google
    I could not take myself out of this place. It was so mesmerising! Love the range of vintage items they have. Would definitely go back again!

  • 5/5 Future Virtual Ltd B. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is fabulous. Could get lost in here for hours. Love the attic and the friendly staff that work there. A real must see destination xx

  • 5/5 Bianca W. 3 years ago on Google
    What a brilliant place! Definitely aptly named. It's a collection of vintage flea market style stalla with so much to see. Upstairs is mostly clothing, downstairs is everything you can imagine! What a treasure trove of antique and unique items. Loved it.
