news from Livingstones

We’re operating with Covid-safe restrictions on the number of customers we have in the shop at any one time, so you may have a short wait before you can come into the shop. We’re working as hard as we can, so please be patient! For the moment, masking requirements and social distancing still apply, but we’ll update you as we have more news.

If our opening hours don’t work for you, or you are unable to shop in person, you can order from our online shop or phone in your order, and we will post it to you or book you a time to click and collect.

To ask us a question or to request a sample you can get in touch with us by phone, by email or on Instagram or Facebook.

If you would like to browse curtain fabric for our made-to-measure curtains and blinds, and are unable to wear a mask or are shielding, you can book an appointment before or after the shop is open to the public; we’ll always do our very best to accomodate you and give the full Livingstones customer care.

We look forward to seeing you soon! We’ll put any news updates on our Facebook page first, so please Like and follow our page to keep right up to date.
