A little about us:


We are a small family run stationers located in Palace Avenue, Paignton. We stock a range of items, including what we are known best for - our wide selection of stationery and our range of art & craft supplies, which includes student and artist quality, to suit all consumer needs.

Axworthys dates back to 1868 where it first started as a commercial printers located on Winner Street in Paignton. Axworthys then survived a devastating fire whilst the store was later located on Torquay Road. Lastly Axworthys moved to Palace Avenue, where it still stands proud today. The store is now owned by a local Paignton family who were pleased to have taken over the business since it was sadly due to close at the end of February 2013 via the decision of previous management.

We are very proud of the one to one customer service we try our very best to provide our customers with. Whether you need help choosing the right art set for an art course you attend or whether it's something as simple as choosing the right printer paper for you, our members of staff will be happy to assist you! We also offer a range of printing services which you can find out more about via the link entitled "our services" featured at the top of our homepage.
