Wincanton Toys, a new shop on South Street

Katie Thomas has been a resident of Wincanton since 2000. She and her husband Daniel have two lovely wee boys. Till recently Katie was employed with another High Street business and Daniel is the office manager at Palmer Snell Estate Agents Wincanton Branch.

However, Katie has joined a growing section of our local population. She’s decided to swap employment for self-employment.

Katie has opened a new business called Wincanton Toys, stocking new and quality used toys for babies through to older children, plus confectionery, at affordable prices for everyone.

“I really love living in Wincanton and am so pleased that I can finally open my toy shop here; not only for myself, but for the community. It’s something different for the town.”
- Katie Thomas
