i really would like to go but im scared im going to get crushed to death.
i can't go early because im worried that the queues will be ridiculously long and then i'd be late for other stuff i have to do.

I think I will pop in just before closing time tonight in the hope they have set-up the stall, and/or repriced some things making the rush tomorow easier

Hi thanks for the info but what does it mean ?? Do you have to have 1 to buy something or is this extra ??

Technicaly got no idea as it is straight from m&s themselves and no extra info given. I took it to mean that after purchase at the penny bazaar they will give you a peel a reveal ticket, presumably to win something or possibly get discounts? Sorry that sentance was straight from them, so I can only guess

I was invited to a facebook event about the penny bazaar - from the official M&S fan page so legit.:j

"To celebrate our 125th birthday we want to give our customers a real treat, and what better way than by bringing back old-style penny bazaars in our stores.

You may know that we began life as a pennzy bazaar store in Leeds Kirkgage market back in 1884. Now we're returning to the spirit of the bazaars with some fabulous anniversary inspired items all for 1p!

Over two million one-penny products will be available in the Penny Bazaar over the course of the three days. Stocks are limited, so make sure you get to your nearest participating store early to avoid disappointment.

The full range of special commemorative products consists of five different jewellery sets, scarves, purses and knickers; cufflinks, ties and socks; leather passport holders and leather luggage tags; tea towels and mugs; bags of retro sweets, cans of retro drink, beach toys, and beach balls.

You can choose up to five products each and every penny donated will go towards the M&S 125 Charity Challenge, which aims to raise £1.25m for local and regional charities between May and September.

Customers queuing early for Penny Bazaar products will also be given a free peel and reveal card with the chance to win one of 700,000 rewards, including sixteen regional jackpots of £12,500.

Find out your nearest store's opening times with our Store Finder: marksandspencer.com/gp/node/n/217396031

Why not take some photos of yourself at the event and post them up to this page for others to see!"

Assuming 2,000,000 products available over 300 stores over 3 days and 5 items per customer =

444 people able to buy 5 items in each store per day.

So if you are number 446 in the queue you might as well not bother
