Shopping in Haslemere & Wey Hill

Anyone going out to a party has a range of options for buying gifts and cards, before making themselves look good at the nail bar or one of Wey Hill’s hairdressers or barbers. If the party is fancy dress, then you could pop along to the Hokey Cokey and pick up a costume.
