"to banish boredom and save the planet using creativity and play to inspire the reuse of materials"

Over its 25 year history, Orinoco has saved lorry loads of interesting resources from ending up in landfill and turned them into fabulous and inspiring items.

Our Scrapstores in Banbury and Templars Square Oxford sell scrap items for art, crafts, play and creative projects as well as new art materials, refurbished tools and DIY stuff.
In our Banbury store you can even book a birthday party, craft lessons, join workshops... Click here to find out more!

You don’t have to be a member to shop with us, just come along to the store and join in with the madness.
We are here for everyone: parents, children, young people, older people, teachers, professionals, craft groups...
