Celebrating Record Store Day

It started with a redundancy payout and a leap of faith - now Ad Astra Records, in Leominster, is the kind of place where you can pop in for the latest Taylor Swift album… and come out with a mortgage!

Run by two former bank workers turned vinyl champions, the shop has become a snug, music-filled community hub.

There’s always a kettle on, new and pre-loved records on the shelves, and a quiet mission behind it all: to bring people together.
