Grandma's Shop at Buxton Fringe! (Underground at the Working Men's Club)

Clothes, cats and counter-culture.

Sheffield, 1989. Loveable, eccentric septuagenarian, Hilda, has run a second-hand clothes shop for decades. She does it to make money to feed 30 stray cats. One day, a journalist from The Guardian walks in...

Join Hilda's granddaughter, Julie Flower, for a 5-star Edinburgh Fringe 2024 hit! A solo, multi-character show about family history subverting expectations. Step inside Grandma's shop, a nostalgic world of old carrier bags, pools coupons and vintage clothes... presided over by an unlikely punk icon.

***** 'Refined moments of sweet, revealing storytelling.' (Three Weeks)

**** ‘This celebration of the ordinary paints a rich picture of Sheffield in the 1980s.’ (The List)

**** 'You will leave bathed in the warm glow of humanity at its best.' (Edinburgh Reporter)

Written and performed by Julie Flower
