Changes to opening hours at 21 Co. Café and Shop

A message to all our valued customers at 21 Co. cafe and shop:

We’ve taken the difficult decision to reduce our opening hours slightly from this week to try to save a few pennies. I think everyone knows that small independent businesses and charities are finding things tough at the moment and we are very mindful of wanting to be able to keep doing the support and work experience work we do with adults with Down Syndrome. This means we need to think about ways to both save and generate money. 

We will be opening 30 minutes later and closing 30 minutes earlier as these are typically very quiet times in the café. We are sorry if this does inconvenience anyone but we hope you will still come and visit us for a lovely 21 Co. welcome, as your custom is so important to us. 

The opening hours from this week will be: 

  • Tuesday 10:00-15:00
  • Wednesday, 09:30 - 16:00
  • Thursday, 09:30 - 16:00
  • Friday, 09:30 - 16:00
  • Saturday, 09:30 - 16:00
  • Sunday, 10:30 - 16:00
