What our customers say:
This is the most amazing place! The staff are so friendly and helpful and there is such an amazing selection of costumes! My costume was for a Tudor themed party - everyone commented on what a good costume it was and I had so much fun choosing it! Will definitely be coming back here for fancy dress parties in the future! Thanks so much!

What our customers say:
We have hired costumes from Hampshire Wardrobe for over twenty years. Their stock covers all our needs in terms of period and style. They are always so accommodating and professional in their dealings with us and nothing is too much trouble. They tolerate our changes of mind and offer a very good ‘take away try on service’ which is so valuable in amateur theatre.
