The first Martlets charity shop opened over ten years ago, from these humble beginnings on Church Street in Brighton, the Martlets Shops have grown into a six strong fleet of charity shops from Lewes, Peacehaven, Saltdean, two shops in Brighton and another in Hove, as well as the Furniture Warehouse in Hove.

The Martlets charity shops offer something different, you'll still find some fantastic bargains, but what you won't find is junk. These shops only offer quality stock; each shop has it's very own specialism.

The Martlets shop in Lewes sells glamorous evening wear, perfect for this season's parties; North Street, Brighton is the place to go if you're looking for beautiful antique furniture, jewellery or porcelain.
