Hungerford Arcade Owners, Managers, Staff and Stallholders wish all our

customers, friends and followers a very Happy New Year!

Hungerford Arcade had a wonderful young couple come shopping and told us a very romantic story.  Keith Tang and Kelly Rubes are both scientists.  Keith is from Kintbury and Kelly is from Austin, Texas, USA.

Kelly was doing some last minute shopping here at the Arcade as she was returning to Austin to spend Christmas with her family.  She will be back here with Keith after Christmas.

As Kelly was not going to be here at Christmas, Keith, being very romantic, took Kelly to Irish Hill in Kintbury at sunset on the 3rd December where he went down on one knee and proposed.  Kelly was overwhelmed and accepted the proposal.  They are one very happy couple!

Thank you Keith and Kelly for sharing your wonderful news with us.  Everyone here at Hungerford Arcade wish you both a very Happy Christmas and a joyous New Year.  Rita

Hungerford Arcade staff, stallholders and our gorgeous mascot, Spencer had a fabulous Christmas dinner down at the John O’Gaunt in Hungerford on Saturday evening.  We took the opportunity to raise our glasses and drink a toast to all our customers who visit us throughout the year.  Merry Christmas to all and thank you to everyone that came to celebrate with us!

I wanted to let you know about a Channel 4 documentary featuring our sponsored charity, the Mary Hare School for Deaf Children & Young Adults and some of its pupils.

The film titled Extraordinary Teens: School of Life and Deaf will be televised at 10pm on Channel 4 on Thursday 14th December so please do watch it if you get a chance.

They are also featured in various publicity around the documentary including BBC Breakfast on 14th December and Woman’s Hour, as well as articles in national and local press.

We hope you enjoy watching!

Hungerford Arcade’s very own master of fine metal art Diccon Dadey will be exhibiting at the Affordable Art Show alongside many other artists.  

Hungerford Arcade thank all the people of Hungerford who made Remembrance Sunday very special.  It was lovely to see so many shops in the town with Remembrance window displays.  These lovely photographs were sent to us by Di Lock of The Royal British Legion.  Thank you Di.

Hungerford Arcade staff and stallholders are always fascinated by what people collect.  A lovely couple called in looking for candle snuffers and as always, there was a good selection for them to choose from.  

Candle snuffers come in all shapes and sizes.  Some are just a metal hood on a wood or metal handle which vary in length due to the height one had to reach to put out the candles.  Others are much more elaborate and highly decorated.  There are some for wick trimming as well as candle snuffing and are shaped like a pair of scissors with a box on the top.  These can be very beautiful.

Alison and her husband found just what they were looking for and thoroughly enjoyed their day out.
