Toy Shops and Vintage Emporiums in Bracknell
Quick backstory: back where I used to live, there was a fantastic vintage shop that also sold toys—Transformers were my personal favorite—and books. I’m curious if there are any similar places around here or perhaps collector shops.
I’ve heard of a place called the Old Grain Barn or something along those lines. If you have any recommendations, I’d love to hear them!
Also, does anyone know of any comic shops in the area or nearby? Thanks! 🙂
Hey there! In Bracknell, you might want to check out some local spots that cater to vintage items and collectibles. The Old Grain Barn is a great start—I’ve heard they have a nice selection of vintage toys and books.
Another place to look into is “The Entertainer” for a more mainstream toy selection, though it’s not vintage. For comics, “Fantastic Stores” in the area could be an option, as they often carry comic books and some collectibles.
If you’re willing to venture a bit further, consider heading to Reading or Wokingham. There are some great independent shops there that specialize in vintage toys and collectibles. Good luck on your hunt, and I hope you find some Transformers to add to your collection!

Additionally, you might want to visit *The Entertainer* in the town center; while it’s more of a modern toy store, they do have some nostalgia-filled collectibles like LEGO sets and classic toys.
