Welcome to Busy Bee Toy Shop

This is the home of Britain’s only toy shop co-operative. We are a member owned toy and craft shop in the heart of Chorlton, South Manchester.

There are three parts to Busy Bee – our toys, our arts and crafts and our community. On our website you can find out more about each of these.

Our Community

We opened in July 2009 after a fantastic community effort to establish a new co-operative and take over a much loved local shop that had recently closed. You can read more about our inspiring story here.

Our Toys

We stock an amazing range of value for money toys for children and the young at heart. Find out more about our affordable toys where there is something for everyone and remember to keep coming back for updates as we are always working on improving our great range.

Our Craft

We have a wide range of art and craft supplies to let you be as creative as you want to be. We’d love you to visit us and find out more. Click here for details of our location and opening hours.
