A new store with a difference is NOW OPEN on Castle Street!
MCC Hobby Centre is a subsidiary of Bachmann Europe, a local company who have been manufacturing and distributing high quality model and hobby products for over 30 years.
With the support of Bachmann, MCC aims to bring hobbies back to the high street!
In addition to a fantastic range of products, MCC is wowing its customers with workshops and demonstrations, so why not come and try your hand at a new hobby with taster demo's in store. These are taking place throughout the year and details will be posted on the MCC Store Facebook page (confirmed list below for our readers, so make sure to save the dates!). In addition, enthusiasts are welcome to visit any day and the friendly, helpful staff will be more than happy to demonstrate individual products and to discuss your interests.
Project Manager Jon Gibbs said “During the pandemic we have seen a huge surge in interest for modelling products, with people revisiting past hobbies as they had a little more time to spare. The aim of the Hobby Centre is to encourage adults and children to put down their screens and create something amazing. We have a huge range of products to choose from and and there is always expert advice on hand. This is something for all members of the family to enjoy, with products for all ages and abilities. Within the centre, there is a fantastic range of materials to support school projects and encourage creativity. We have a great team here who can’t wait to welcome you”.
There is a vast selection of products on display including plastic kits, model scenery, educational toys, model trains, collectables, and flying toys. Younger visitors can also look forward to visiting the children’s craft and play table, which allows mum and dad the chance to browse the centre at their leisure. The 135sqm store has created 5 new jobs and is located on Castle Street in Hinckley.
