What a magical place for all things costume! We had a 'May the forth be with you/ Star Wars Day' at school and Tash hired us the most perfect Chewbacca and Storm Trooper - as good as the films! We had a blast at school and we would highly recommend Tash and this excellent costume hire place. We will be back very soon.

Great selection and good value, always use this company rather than cheap disposable costumes!
