The Jigsaw Cellar

The Jigsaw Cellar, a puzzle specialist in Kirkby Lonsdale

The Jigsaw Cellar is a shop based at 41 Main Street in Kirkby Lonsdale, in the United Kingdom, dedicated to the sale of jigsaw puzzles. Its catalogue is built around a broad age range, from young children's puzzles to large-piece-count adult jigsaws, and the business states that it holds stock of more than 1,000 different puzzles, a figure it describes as continuing to grow as new ranges are added.

Brands stocked

The shop organises its catalogue by manufacturer, and the brands named on the site include Gibsons, Ravensburger, Wentworth, Galt, Orchard Toys, Bigjigs, Wasgij, Jumbo and House of Puzzles. The brand listing also covers Eurographics, Flame Tree, GraviTrax, Jan van Haasteren and Laurence King, alongside a separate children's section for Plus-Plus, Orchard Toys, Bigjigs, Galt and Ravensburger.

Browsing by piece count and age

The catalogue is structured so that customers can filter by the number of pieces. Standard sizes are grouped into 300, 500, 1,000 and 1,500 or more, while a separate larger-size section covers puzzles with fewer than 100 pieces and large-format puzzles of 100, 250, 300 and 500 pieces. For younger buyers, the children's range is divided by age, with categories up to 18 months and for ages 2+, 3+, 4+ and 5+, plus a second group for ages 6+, 7+, 8+ and 9+.

Themes, subjects and artists

Beyond size and age, the site sorts puzzles by theme and subject. Seasonal categories cover Easter, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Christmas and the four seasons. Subject headings include animals and wildlife, cartoon and humour, cottages, Disney, fantasy, farming, fine art, flowers and garden, harbours, hobbies and pastimes, maps and flags, Marvel, nostalgia, photography and scenic places, planes, trains and transport, wooden puzzles, and Yorkshire and the Lake District. A separate artist index lists names such as Aimee Stewart, Angela Harding, Emma Ball, Janice Daughters, Robert Opie, Steve Crisp, Thomas Kinkade, Trevor Mitchell and Val Goldfinch, and a fine art section references Lowry, Monet and Van Gogh. Character-led puzzles for children include Marvel, Disney, Gruffalo, Peppa Pig, Thomas & Friends and Paw Patrol.
