Shoppers were pictured queuing outside Aldi in Newport as the supermarket’s hugely popular wooden toy range went on sale. The annual Aldi wooden toy event hit the shelves on Thursday, October 8, and bargain hunters were keen to get through the doors early to snap up the toys before stocks disappear.
Popular range draws early crowds
Aldi’s wooden toy event has become a major draw for shoppers in the run-up to Christmas, with the range offering traditional-style playsets and toys at relatively low prices with products available only while stocks last. Pictures show shoppers queuing outside the store ready for when it opens and once it had opened, the middle aisle was full of shoppers.
This year’s range includes a wooden doll’s house priced at £34.99, a children’s table and chairs for £24.99 and a children’s bookshelf costing £19.99. Among the more eye-catching products is a Wooden Aldi Supermarket, priced at £29.99, alongside a wooden modern kitchen for £29.99 and a £24.99 wooden play world.
Cheaper options and stocking fillers
There are also plenty of cheaper options for parents looking for stocking fillers, including a £9.99 wooden activity board, an £8.99 musician set and an £11.99 wooden kitchen set. The range includes everything from a wooden railway set and pirate ship to a piano and drum kit, with prices ranging from single figures to larger £34.99 play items.
The rush in Newport is one of many seen at Aldi stores around the UK today as shoppers hunt for toys ahead of the festive season.
