HOT OFF THE PRESS
Welcome to our Press & PR Corner! This is the place where we showcase our media appearances and share the times our website and product ranges made headlines. From traditional newspaper articles and magazine features, to blogger reviews and shoutouts on social media, you can explore the stories, posts and pictures that made people talk about us. Join us on a stroll through our media journey and relive the moments when Carousel captured the spotlight.

ROUND & ABOUT MAGAZINE
We were thrilled to get a write up just before Christmas in Round & About magazine - the country's largest circulating free regional magazine. Our story featured in their Surrey (Godalming and Cranleigh) edition, and focused on us celebrating our 25th Christmas in the trade!
Check out the old photo of the shop, taken in 1998.
The article also featured a recent family picture taken earlier in the Summer, showing founders, Clare and David Turvey and their three girls, Kate, Eliza and Martha, who now run Carousel. The whole gang of grandchildren were there too (and even the dogs!)
It means the world to us to have the support of our local community, and even though we no longer have our little Shalford shop, we remain committed to staying true to our veteran village shop values - providing customers with a friendly, personable service and a great shopping experience.
