It is your Post Office and Shop. Please support it, either as a customer or as a volunteer. Preferably both!

December

Festive goodies in the Shop

Why not save yourself the hassle of going to the supermarket and order fresh produce from us.

We will have extra fruit and veg in the shop from Saturday 20 December with a top up on Christmas Eve. Meat and bread will be available on the last Saturday before Christmas which is 20 December.

We still have calendars available in the shop at £7.00 each, plus hard-backed envelopes for 50p, so please support what is a firm Briantspuddle Shop tradition! This year’s calendar is particularly good value entertainment as it includes ‘The Ballad of Briantspuddle’.

Christmas opening hours: the shop and PO will be shut on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years’ Day.

Post Office

The last posting dates for UK mail (i.e. letters and cards)

2nd class – Wednesday 17 December

1^st class – Saturday 20 December but remember that our PO will not be open on Saturday so make sure you get to us by Friday 19 December.

For parcels and overseas mail see https://www.postoffice.co.uk/last-posting-dates or check with the PO.

Newspapers

They are no papers on Christmas Day. On Boxing Day and New Years’ day, papers can be collected from the box outside the shop. They almost certainly won’t have arrived by 9.00 so please leave it until later to collect them. We would appreciate it if you could let us know in good time if you are altering your newspaper order over the festive period.

The 2026 Calendar is now in the shop for sale at the bargain price of £7.00. This year’s edition is even more special as it includes ‘The Ballad of Briantspuddle’ – an all-year round entertainment! Come and check it out.
