Attention wizards!

Imagine.
An owl of your very own. Your very own Hedwig.
This splendid creature is just waiting for one special budding Harry Potter and is available now (unless he's already been sold) in the gift shop.
Carved by artist, Tom Reid, this noble creature stands approximately 7 inches tall and would make an imperious addition to a mantelpiece near you.


Please apply in person (wand not included).

Wordless Wednesday: Photography Galore!

This month, photographer Tracy Riddell is providing a most stunning display for visitors to the upper floor at City Hall. Just take a short trip up to the landing on the stairs up from the reception desk.

Critter Adopt-A-Thon 2011: the equine edition

Empty stable?
Spare paddock or two?
Spare hay?
Surplus oats?
Look no further than artist Cathy Rycroft's beautiful and lifelike paintings of these graceful creatures. Either a print, card or painting on stone is sure to delight the horse fanatic in your life (and might temporarily delay the "when can I get my own pony?" demands).

NB: all Blackberry Gift Shop adoptees are fully housetrained and sociable (no vices).
