Warkworth Museum op-shop returns by demand

The Warkworth and Districts Museum Op-Shop reopened this month due to popular demand, after its former shop closed a few years ago.

The new shop is located on Baxter Street and is open from 9am to 4pm on weekdays and 9am to 2pm on Saturdays.

Op-shop manager Lois Burton says the last shop, at the old Mitre 10, was a huge success and that all profits will once again go toward the museum.

“The last one was meant to be open for six months and ended up running for two and a half years,” Lois says.

“We had a lot of people ask us if we would open a shop again and the museum needs some funding for ongoing maintenance and upgrades, so it made sense.”
