St. Oswald's Hospice Book Shop

General information

Complementing our beautiful repurposed creations, you can also find new retro and vintage style products from funky record players to telephones, plus locally produced artisan items such as luxury handmade soaps and knitted furnishings.

An ideal destination for those interested in quirky, original home décor and sustainable goods, an in-store must see for customers is our shop till - a repurposed piano; instrumental in demonstrating the one-off pieces we have on offer.

Each of our stylish shabby-chic pieces started life as a donation to St Oswald’s Hospice in its original form, before being lovingly hand-painted and transformed by our skilled team of staff and volunteers.

Using a range of specialist effects, techniques and applications, pieces are transformed from ‘pre-loved’ to ‘re-loved’, often using the innovative, environmentally-friendly Sarah Jayne Signature Chalk Paint range, also stocked in store.

Sarah Jayne Signature Chalk Paint is the UK’s fastest growing chalk paint brand. Boasting a smooth finish without any chalky residue, the versatile paint can be used on most surfaces once buffed and does not need a wax finish as this is built into the paint. The perfect choice for beginners or experienced users, it is fast drying, odourless and safe to use indoors and on children’s’ toys. Ask our staff for advice on painting your own masterpiece at home or information about our creative workshops.

Find us downstairs in Newcastle’s Eldon Garden Shopping Centre, at the bottom of the escalator and next to the lifts.

All profits raised from our upcycled products directly fund St Oswald's Hospice, which provides specialist care for adults, young people and children from across the North East.
