Snu-Peas is an independent record shop at 10 Ashley Rd, in Boscombe, Bournemouth. According to the information I found, it has been at this address since 1981, and several sources describe it as a long-established shop. It sells vinyl records, CDs, cassettes and DVDs across many music genres, so it suits both casual listeners and people who collect records.

The stock is large and varied, and it is described as reasonably priced. The layout is well organised, which makes it easier to flick through the racks. If you are looking for an album that isn't on the shelves, you can ask the staff about an order for it, or for any other item they don't have in stock.
The shop is run by William, whom reviewers often call Will. They describe him as charming and friendly, with a great knowledge of music. One reviewer says they have been shopping there for over 40 years, and another mentions visiting between 1990 and 1994. Snu-Peas has a rating of 4.7 out of 5 from 140 Google reviews.
Opening times are fairly limited. The shop is open on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 11:00 to 18:00, and it is closed on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Sundays. Today is Monday, so it is closed right now. The next opening day is Thursday 15 October.
Parking is straightforward. There is free parking on the streets next to the shop, and a paid multi-level car park nearby if those streets are full. The shop is also listed on Yell and Vinyl World, where you can check the address and the opening hours before you go.
