Blewbury Post Office News

November 1, 2023

We have some exciting news! Sarah will be officially taking over the post
office on the 30th October and Karen can FINALLY put her feet up or go
travelling around the world! From the 31st of October we will be running our temporary opening hours of
9-3pm Monday to Friday until the end of November.
Christmas stamps will be available for sale from the 3rd of November.
There will also be a Christmas Tree collection tin to help with the increasing
cost of the Christmas Tree that sits on top of the church tower.
The post office will be getting very busy soon so please put any customs
labels for international parcels on before you reach the counter. The last
posting date for International economy to Western Europe in time for
Christmas is 27th November so if you require this service please get your
parcels into us before then.
Looking forward to meeting more of you soon and seeing you around the
village!
Love Sarah, Karen and Andrew
