THE Sue Ryder Care charity shop in Rayleigh has been chosen as one of only 150 to become a centre for dolls house enthusiasts.

Only three shops is Essex will become Hickleton Centres, offering customers exclusive items and priority ordering for the charity's dolls houses.

The Hickleton Collectors Club will be launched on September 24 and enthusiasts who sign up will get a newsletter, discounts and the chance to see items and order them before they go on sale to other shoppers.

They will also get two free gifts and the charity hopes dolls house fans will meet up and start collectors groups.
