    apparently it's coming back for one day only on Friday the 13th

    here's the list of items, taken from another site:

    Christmas socks, card games, children’s puzzles, handkerchiefs, money boxes, tea-towels, mugs, notebooks, ties, knickers, key-rings, Christmas chocolates and Christmas Yule logs.

    5 items from the list given above, you just have to make a donation of any sort, even a penny, and all the money goes to local charities

    I work for M&S and have heard nothing whatsoever about this. The last one was to celebrate 125 years in business and was planned months in advance. I'll bet a cookie this doesnt happen

    I loved the penny bazaar, I still wear the chain I got with the little penny on it!

    I doubt this is happening, it would be well known by now.

    .

    Not online, you have to queue (with all the grannies) at a bricks and mortar shop.

    Ahh brillant..

    Penny Bazaar is coming back.

    I've been itching to wait in-line for a 1c roll of "My Little Pony" Sellotape!

    I can verify that this bazaar is definitely happening - I passed the queue for it in M&S Liffey Valley this morning. I didn't have time to stop but may go back for a look later - is it worth queuing for??

    I don't understand people queueing, the same thing happened last year with a massive line of people there an hour before the shop even opened!

    I popped in at 10am and there was no line and loads of stuff.

    I was in Drogheda today and it's definitely on, judging by the millions of people at the door. I turned and ran!
