And with the Patron of their Hospice being famous Harry Potter actor, Warwick Davis, it seems appropriate to embrace the Harry Potter craze to raise more money for the Hospice.
Warwick played both Professor Flitwick and Griphook the Goblin in the movies.
Emma-Jayne Parker, New Goods Buyer for St Barnabas said: “We’re so excited to launch this new venture, which was agreed after such a successful Steampunk pop-up shop in September.
“Just like the Steampunk pop-up, we’d love it if shoppers were to come dressed in their best wizarding robes and house scarves.

“It’s great that we’ve managed to get our hands on the official merchandise, and even movie replica props such as wands and broomsticks.
“We’ve got such a wide range of stock that people will be hard pushed for choice!
“We’re urging Harry Potter fans to come from far and wide to visit this shop and help us to raise some much needed money for hospice care in Lincolnshire.
“Without wonderful people spending their money in our shops, we wouldn’t be able to support and care for people living with a life-limiting or terminal illness across Lincolnshire.”
