A new shop for fans of trading cards, Pokemon and role playing dice games is set to open in Lancaster city centre.

Dice & Decks will open on Common Garden Street this Saturday, August 30.

The shop is run by Holley Goodban and her business partner Matt.

Holley's 'Miss Frog' brand is well-known in Lancaster for her stalls at the Assembly Rooms, the Charter Market and Lancaster University.

She also opened a temporary pop-up 'Miss Frog' shop in Marketgate in 2023.

Her brand is called 'Miss Frog' as that was Holley's nickname at school, because she was obsessed with frogs!

Holley, who is a big fan of comic books, anime and D&D, began 'Miss Frog' as a stall at the Kanteena venue in Lancaster selling her novelty jewellery for charities.

She said she'd been looking for the "perfect premises" to open a more permanent shop and was delighted to have found it on Common Garden Street.

The shop, previously home to the Chatime bubble tea cafe, will also sell role playing game accessories, posters, apparel and soft toys and figurines of Pokemon and other characters from fantasy and anime, the popular Japanese animation genre.
