The store’s new ground-floor premises are spacious, bright and arranged for easy browsing. Entry is available from both O’Riordan and Doody Streets, while wide aisles and wheelchair-friendly access make it easier to move through the shop or transport larger materials. There are more than 700 on-site car spaces, including three hours of free parking, with accessible bays near the store.

The canvases are handcrafted daily, with a four-pack offer available on the featured product page.

A knowledgeable team is available to help, and the layout is designed to accommodate both brief visits and longer browsing sessions.
