Dorchesters Vinyl van is a colourful addition to Brewery Square. The first incarnation of the shop was a sunny yellow VW camper van. Owners Marcia and Helen traded records at festivals before the shop opened just before the first covid lockdown.
Customers have found a space to be welcomed and appreciated. The duo have regular open deck nights 'The joy of decks' and live music. Social networking, LGBTQ rights and social issues are important to Marcia and Helen. It is an inclusive space for everyone.
The last year has brought more changes. The next door shop was acquired and the dividing wall was removed and sister shop C Cide was born. The extra space has given the pair more space for fashion, accessories, jewellery and artwork. I've been lucky to be included into the Vinyl van family. I'm so looking forward to bringing more artwork and designs to the shop this year.
