News Box

Normal service has now been resumed! We will be at York July Fair (the first weekend of July) and Pedally Steve is expecting to be a regular fixture in York during the school holidays.

June 2010.

Hello and welcome to Rainbow Names, the internet home of Carol and Stephen Ogden.

A family business, we have been providing our eclectic range of wooden toys, personalised gifts, and names to customers across the length and breadth of Britain for over twenty years. 2010 is yet another year of changes as we have expanded the range of toys that we offer to include BigJigs Rail and Hama Beads and new ranges of soft toys and puppets will be arriving during the summer.

We have also changed the material we use to make our names from MDT to Birch Plywood which makes them lighter but stronger and introduced two new colour options, pink stripe and blue stripe.

We trade on York Market on Thursdays and Fridays throughout the year and on Sundays between March and December with our complete range. To see our full and ever-changing range visit us in York (map) and say hello. We also do a few fairs and events during the year, details of which are posted in the news box.

 Stephen at work cutting Rainbownames

In addition to the market, on dry weekends and holidays throughout the year Stephen transforms himself into “Pedally Steve” and cuts his unique "Pedal Powered Names" on the corner of St Sampson's Square (map). The "Pedal Powered Names" (and the show) are only available from Stephen in person. For more information about Pedally Steve go to his page.

Best wishes,
Stephen and Carol
