BRIGHTON POP-UP SHOP

For the first time in Brighton, for the whole of December, Department Store for the Mind will create a pop-up shop and space for discovering calm and sharing connection this Christmas.

 

We hear, almost everywhere now, about the need to de-stress, reconnect and remember to seek out moments of lightness and calm. There is much discussion and advice but few products that help to make the ideas real for the everyday person. Department store for the mind creates products that make it super simple to put the ideas into action each day.

 

“Your mind is precious…” says Ruth Williams, Brightonian psychologist and one of the two owners at Department store for the mind. “We have created pop-up events in London over the last two years. This year I am bringing our ideas home. The North Laines is a perfect spot for us with its buzzing creativity, appreciation of difference and openness to exploring the mind. I can’t wait to open!”

 

Department store for the mind’s products make particularly lovely gifts for those who want to find something meaningful and useful for the people they love.

 

 

Find our store at:

13 Trafalgar Street Brighton East Sussex BN1 4EQ
