Our history

Present Days opened in October 1977 as a small 'two-roomed' shop selling mainly cards and stationary.
It is housed in a Georgian fronted three-storey building that dates back to before the Great Fire of Warwick.
It is old and wonky with nooks and crannies and odd little corners, beams and spiders (they don't come out during the day!) and is loved by us, our staff and our many loyal customers (from far and wide).
We now employ some of the children of our original staff and once, briefly, employed four members of the same family.
Over the years the shop has expanded backwards and upwards and now stocks items such as you have seen on these pages plus many others too numerous or transient to mention.
We travel many thousands of miles, and to several countries, a year to find the unusual and different. Some things will be found in other shops; many others won't. We always try to promote small companies and hand-made products when we can (many of them local).
We also try, not always successfully, to buy ethically from companies using sustainable or renewable materials and we always check, through our suppliers, the working conditions of the people making items puchased from abroad.

Christmas in Warwick On Thursday 29th November 2007 Warwick runs the Victorian Evening; The Market Square has entertainments for all the family, the streets are lined with stalls and there are street entertainers and stage acts. Many of the shops, pubs and restaurants open late and if you are planning a Winter Weekend in Warwick this is a good time to come.
