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

Never heard of this before, but im just wondering can you buy your stuff online for this offer, or does it have to be in store??

Couldnt see anything on their offical site.

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.

last time it was done in most of, but not all irish stores, I'd assume it to be the same this time too

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!
