News from Hungerford’s Independent Shops & Businesses – February 2026

Hungerford is famous for its independent shops and businesses which make the High Street worth a visit. There is also a Heritage Trail you can enjoy while you are browsing the shops.

Howards Pet Care

 

Exciting news – the Tidy Tails Dog Grooming business will be joining us this month. To book your pooch in for a pamper contact Jodie on 07840 474364 or tidytailsgroomers@yahoo.com.

We stock all you need for your pets, including food, bedding and toys – plus wild bird seeds and floating duck and swan pellets (please avoid giving bread if you can, as it is not close to their natural diet and can cause wing deformities due to malnutrition).

Hungerford Coin & Stamp Centre

Silver soars to all-time record highs amid huge demand from the investing public. Silver is performing with astonishing strength and is now one of the best performing assets over the past 12 months with new records being achieved on a daily basis

To put this into perspective a silver teapot which we would have struggled to sell for £200 today would fetch a comfortable £1,000. And our favourite One Ounce Silver Britannia Coins we were selling for £28 last January are today £138. These are immensely popular as they are CGT free.

If you have any items of Silver for sale please bring them to the Hungerford Coin and Stamp Centre or consider selling through our sister business Foxhill Auctions

Our specialists offer free, no-obligation valuations and friendly advice, either in the shop or by appointment. If you’re thinking of selling, the current market is strong, making it an ideal time to pop in or visit our website to discuss your options.

White Feather Gift Shop

Donna is very sad that her little shop in the courtyard is closing. She’s tried everything to keep it going during the past year and would like to thank everyone who has helped and supported her business.
 
It’s not the end of White Feather Gifts though, it’s a rethink.
 
Donna asks that we keep following her on social media, and stay on the lookout for updates of what is coming next.
