Ultima Thule

28/11/2025

After trying to restrict our business hours at Ultima Thule to Wednesday-Saturday - with the aim of us having more free time to do other things - that really didn't work so well...
1. Due to the unpredictability of the weather.
2. Often being busy on Mondays due to orders over the weekend.
3. Visitors on Saturdays, etc.
So, from January I'm proposing abandoning advertising any opening/business hours altogether, and pretty much going with the flow as to what suits us best. However, for this to work we will have to insist on no unannounced visits - only visits by prior arrangement please, whilst our mail-order may not quite as speedy as it was, although we'll still get everything despatched as soon as possible. Visitor details will be revised here shortly: http://www.ultimathulerecords.com/visitors.htm
