Genuine, fair, and full of character Paraphernalia Antiques & Collectables is exactly what a proper antiques shop should be — no gimmicks, no games, just honest people who know their stuff and treat you with respect. I’ve bought and sold here a few times, and every experience has been straightforward and fair. Prices are clearly marked, and if you're selling, you’ll get a proper appraisal without any messing about. No silly gimmicks, no pressure tactics — just real, thoughtful offers and genuine conversation. The shop itself is brilliant to explore, full of vintage finds, oddities, and things you didn’t know you needed until you saw them. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to take your time. A real gem in Minehead. If you're after antiques, collectables, or just a shop with some soul, this is the one.

Picked up this beauty vintage cinema cam. Lots of cheap vintage medium format and 35mm cameras that might work and a few old cinema cameras and plenty of other antiques to pique your interest if you're into this sort of thing. Definitely worth sticking your nose in of you like old collectables as you never quite know what's there. Friendly and chatty service.
