SHOPPERS braved the flooding and storms on Thursday for a Christmas shopping night at Hatters Wedding and lifestyle Centre.

Traders involved with the Upstairs at Hatters shop met on the first floor of the centre showcasing their goods, with products as diverse as wooden clocks, a knitted Dr Who tardis and handmade dolls.

And other businesses still opened their doors to the public including Assortment Boutique and Pouting in Peeps Toes Ltd.

Upstairs at Hatters is open Monday-Saturday, 9am – 5pm with late opening until 8pm on Thursdays up until Christmas.
