Snu-Peas..........

Have been going there for years. Nearly always found what I've been looking for amazing collection across all music gender's and what a great guy that owns and runs this little business. Chas .

Popped in last Saturday to purchase some CDs - last visited in 2023. Proper old school record store with a huge amount of vinyl, cassettes and CDs. Easy to find, less than a minute's walk to the bus station and multi storey car park and friendly owner. Highly recommended - you never know what you'll find!

Full of gems …… vinyl & cd format with some good music dvds & box sets 🎼

I'd go there in my 20s or was it my late teens, I dunno, I'm now 62! I can't believe the place is still going, if I recall their used to be a mobile disco of same name, and I too was in that business. I no longer live close to Bournemouth, but can highly recommend as had some of my best deals from this shop!!

This shop is an institution and deserves its own blue plaque 💖!
I bought my first ever albums here way back in the 80s. It's always been a pleasure to pop down and have a rummage finding some real gems. So happy to know its still going strong and has barely changed over the years, Will the owner is so lovely. Whether you're a long term collector or are just starting your own collection, you can't do better than visiting here.

Have been going to Snu-Peas for many years. Always good stuff. Just check which days they are open as it can change a bit.

This place has been around for decades for good reason. Such a range of genres and music platforms. I have such fond memories of my teens sifting through the shelves discovering new music and artists all at second-hand prices, then going back and listening to the albums all Saturday evening with friends and then throughout the week, only to do it all over again the next Saturday.

Absolutely love this shop. Full to the brim with vinyl and the best customer service experience. Really enjoyed our chat. We bought Christmas presents and fully intend to visit again.

Have been going to this Record Shop since the early 80s. The owner is very knowledgeable and it is absolutely stuffed full of a massively wide selections of treasures all reasonably priced. This shop is part of the history of Boscombe and it is wonderful that my son is the second generation to be a regular customer at this must visit place for vinyl junkies.

On and off I've been visiting this rather marvellous emporium of second-hand popular music home replay formats for 40 years now, and I have to say I'm delighted with every purchase I've made over those years. Reasonably priced, and well stocked with all music genres. This place is a big part of Boscombe, and long may it last.

If Dragons collected music they would struggle to amass a treasure horde of vinyl, cd and tape recorded music like this. Literally wall to wall and floor to ceiling. What's even more amazing is that Will knows exactly where everything is. Parking us free on street in adjacent roads or pay to park in the nearby multi storey. Your only regret will be that you did not find SnuPeas sooner.

I love this record shop. The owner really knows his music and doesn't rip you off. I've bought classic albums at this place at very good prices and I've even been able to put albums back when I haven't had money at the time. If there's something you're after and you can't see it, don't be afraid to ask him if he has it out the back, even if he does look like the grumpiest man on the planet.

Awesome music store with high local reputation, and staff so knowledgeable! Last time I popped in I couldn't see a rare album I was looking for, then William nipped out the back and appeared with it in hand! Also apparently can get things in to order. Great service, very long time established. 10/10.

A gem of a shop that I have been going to since the mid-80s. Despite having lived in Birmingham for 14 years and now living in Lancs I still make an effort to visit on my trips down south. Some great records have been found here over the years! Well worth a look.

Such an impressive collection of classic vinyl. The owner absolutely knows his stuff and helps you find what you’re looking for. Better than any other vinyl shops in Bournemouth. If you want new vinyl from new artists go on amazon.

Decent collection of records and a proper record shop. Get ready to spend hours there rooting. It’s what Saturdays are made for. There’s some great record shops in town now and Snupeas is the best and most established. Good prices and good knowledge from the really old man behind the counter.

I was really pleased to find that this shop still exists (it was founded in 1981). This is a proper second hand record shop, like the ones i remember from my youth (actually this was one I visited in my youth!). The shop appears a bit chaotic but the owner knew where everything was and found the record I was looking for. Friendly and helpful - highly recommended.

A fabulous shop. Very reasonably priced large selection of vinyl and CDs. Been coming here for years- and still buying!

Stepped through the door in (probably) 1983.
During the vinyl hay day it was THE go to shop for rarities and oldies.
Snu Peas has survived the onslaught of modern music and formats - and continues to deliver quality options.
Will remains at the helm, and if he doesn’t know, no one does. He lives and breaths proper music!

The shop remains a rare diamond in the coal pile!

It’s been an eternal pleasure!

I note a poor review below with the comment ‘not been there for years’.

I would suggest you ignore the comment, and probably the person if they are a part of your everyday life!

Mountains of vinyl and CDs to rummage through- record shops like this are rare and I’ve been going there for years.
A friendly and knowledgeable owner will help you with any questions.
