WORTHING
Over a decade of magic
Bows has been part of Worthing for over a decade, run by Brian — a genuine one-off who's turned a toy and sweet shop into somewhere people actually want to spend time.
Fluffy walls, fairy lights, and a browsing pace that nobody rushes you through. There's no script here, no up-sell pressure — just a person who loves what they do and a shop that shows it.
It's the kind of place you stumble into once and keep coming back to. And if you haven't been yet, there really isn't a good reason to wait.
