Situated in the lovely Dorset seaside town of Swanage, we are a family owned business which began trading in 1983

as Swanage Music & Video, moving across the road to our current site in the early 90's.  With the decline of independent record shops we changed direction and opened as Curiosity in 1995, and haven't looked back since!

​

We stock over 10,000 items and welcome 1,000's of visitors every year.  Come rain or shine you will always find a warm welcome and a massive choice of gifts, home and garden ideas.  We pride ourselves of keeping our prices low and our choice and quality high!  Click here                                    for a tour through the shop made in 2023 by Martin Pope
