It’s sale season at our award-winning Vintage Advantage charity shop, on the Gobowen site. Shoppers are invited to bag a bargain while also supporting students.
The Vintage Advantage charity shop is offering pre-loved bargains with a further 50% off. The January sale runs for two weeks, and is the perfect opportunity to seek out that classic warm winter coat, or kit yourself out with a new gym kit.
Assistant Commercial Development Manager Sharon Jones, said: “After a busy Christmas, we’re excited to launch our half price charity shop January sale. We’ve got plenty of great quality stock from generous donors, including lots of lovely unwanted Christmas gifts.
“We have a good selection of winter coats to keep everyone snug through January and February. As well as some fitness wear to help customers with new year’s resolution to get stronger and healthier.”
The Vintage Advantage charity shop is part of Derwen College’s popular Marketplace, where customers can also visit the Garden Centre and Gift Shop, The Orangery Restaurant, the Walled Garden Café or our mini training hotel, Hotel 751.
The Marketplace raises funds for Derwen Charity. It also provides valuable work experience opportunities for students and supported interns, where they can learn a variety of skills in retail, hospitality or horticulture to support them towards their career ambitions.
Derwen Marketplace was recognised in the Queen’s Award for Enterprise for Promoting Opportunity. The Vintage Advantage has also won the Innovation Award at the Charity Retail Awards in 2023 and was shortlisted for the UK’s Favourite Charity Shop award in 2024.
