Welcome

Our friendly, old-fashioned toy shop is where you will find a wondrous collection of real Teddies and truly classic soft toys. In a fast moving world, only true quality remains and the Foster & Hawkes Toy Shop of Helmsley, North Yorkshire is a reflection of that quality. Winner of the ‘Outstanding Customer Service Award’, we have a reputation for more than just exceptional toys.

Customers from all over the world tell us how refreshing it is to find a shop selling traditional toys and with a surge in business in recent times, it is clear that the demand for toys of a different era and values are very popular. Helmsley’s largest selection of Teddy Bears is housed here and the train that chugs rhythmically around the window is a touch of nostalgia and authenticity that speaks of what our shop is all about.

No guns, no computers, no Actionmen, no Barbies or Bratz – just 15,000 uniquely wonderful articles that will bring unbridled joy! Come, touch, hear and play for yourself, we will be delighted to make you welcome and serve you well.
