4/8/2026 August is upon us and with it a change in our DISPLAY WINDOWS. The Ladies’ side of no.30, with its gloriously elegant black-and-white theme, is looking very ‘My Fair Lady’, but both it and no.32 (the Gents & Unisex side) now feature a...
27/7/26 It’s been a busy old month in the Snooks’ display window, with several different themes on show. July started with a continuation of Wimbledon, then it was our (short-lived) tribute to England’s World Cup team, and now we wind it up...
14/7/2026 With wonderful Wimbledon over for another year, we couldn’t help but notice there seemed to be another sizeable sporting fixture ‘afoot’… so it was out with the lawn tennis window and in with the ENGLAND flags to show support for our...
8/7/26 Not only have we had a substantial restock of our beautiful boutique UMBRELLAS, but of some of the more ‘out there’ HATS too (more on which later). Three of our brolly designs double up as parasols, with a sunblock coating inside to fully fend off...
30/6/26 It’s a return to the radio for Snookette Sue, as on Friday of last week she was interviewed, for the third time (a hat-trick, ha!), by BBC Radio Solent’s Carl Ashwin. And the subject, this time? PANAMA HATS! The excuse? A certain England v Panama...
23/6/2026 The tennis-fest of WIMBLEDON approaches once again, so of course we have to mark the event with one of our special themed windows in No.30, the ‘Ladies Side’. With the official colours of the championships being purple and green, we’ve...
17/6/26 Lately landed, more luxury SHAVING CREAM to whizz off those whiskers in style. In ‘flavours’ from the ever-popular sandalwood, through its sibling cedarwood, then grapefruit, coconut, rose, almond, peppermint, lavender, lime zest, tobacco leaf, and...
13/6/2026 Arriving in time for the biggest and brightest race meeting of the year, Royal Ascot, it’s our final consignment of ladies’ FANCY HATS and FASCINATORS of the season. In stunning straws and pretty parasisals, these beauties come in a fabulous...
3/6/2026 Now that we’re into June, our big event of the month is ROYAL ASCOT. Running Tuesday 16th – Saturday 20th, this prestige event sees many of our hats and fascinators gracing the heads of those who take a trip to the racecourse over the five-day,...
27/5/2026 It might seem strange to be showing you UMBRELLAS in this heatwave, but The Guvnor had a stroke of genius and lined the passageway between the two sides of the shop with examples of our boutique umbrellas, and it’s created a very welcome oasis of...
