Many thanks to all who have supported us through last year, we trust you like what we stock and enjoy the quality products you have bought. This festive season you will find some very nice presents for your special ones...
Also our suppliers, for ensuring the quality and sourcing some really different products.
Since we opened in March 2010, we trust that you have found us a useful addition to the village. We have had a great year in terms of getting the shop established, though more to come. You've enjoyed the events we have put on in the village, the acoustic sessions in Hoc's Nest and up on the gallery, the photographic and art displays as well. More to come in 2012, we trust that you will always find a warm welcome at Hoc's.
As Audlem Village scooped yet another award this year a Gold Award for the Best Small Village category. All this in spite of the drastic cut in funding for us by Cheshire East Council.www.audlem.org/newsitem-1-1-7251.html
So very pleased to be recognised for contributing to the community, big thanks to Jane from the Priest House Coffee shop (our Landlady) for keeping the outside looking good. We look forward to welcoming you to our award winning shop :)
We have some wonderful ex-stocking fillers and festive items at reduced prices, including chocolates and festive teas.

Some interesting news to be released soon about Enya’s books - Hoc’s Fat Pigeon is fully behind Enya’s fund raising activity. For those that don't know the story behind Enya’s Books, basically Enya, and some 12 of her colleagues studying at Brine Leas 6th Form, raised money for a World Challenge expedition to Costa Rica earlier this year.
They were there for a month most of which centered at a school in the Rain Forest helping with teaching English and carrying out necessary maintenance.
Enya raised £3,500 she needed to raise, and the book shop iwas a big part of that fund raising activity.
We are excited to be supporting Enya, and to keep the shop going.
A book exchange service, for 25p per book exchanged; Fetch a book in, select a new one, handover 25p Simples!!
Paperbacks for £1.00 and Hardbacks for £2.00.
Some books and sets of books are priced up separately to reflect their value - as pointed out by a few of our knowledgeable customers (Thank you!) but still at very reasonable cost.

Look out here for future events supported by Hoc’s Fat Pigeon
