This is a Christian outreach initiative that began 10 years ago using volunteers from St. Teilo’s, various denominations and folk of none. The shop seeks to ‘minister’ to the whole community. It stocks a wide range of cards, books (Christian and non), gifts, love spoons, paintings, jewellery and a wide ranger of Fair Trade products. Refreshments are served – there is a children’s play area and the shop is a booking agency for the Grand Theatre.

All profits are donated to charity (not to Church funds) and each year charities are chosen both local and abroad.

The Lamplighter is located on Bishopston Road (in the centre of the village) and is recognised as a Tudor-like building that overhangs the road. It is open six days a week – Monday to Saturday from 10.a.m. to 4.p.m.

Would you like to help ? Each shift lasts just 2 hours. There is a rota of volunteers and training is given. For more information contact Margaret Edwards on 01792-23207
