A popular shop in the centre of Newport Pagnell, Hobgoblin is usually busy. As well as stocking musical instruments, records and CDs, the shop also displays advertisements to local events such as 'Hot Western Swing and Bluegrass'.

The shop stocks a huge range of instruments and material. They describe themselves on their website:

'"Hobgoblin’s 9th UK branch opened on 10th April 2004, in Newport Pagnell, Milton Keynes. Dave Soulsby, guitarist, owns the shop as a family business run by his son Mathew (guitar, drums). The shop is a mere six minutes from J14 on the M1, and on a direct route into town. Newport Pagnell is a lively old town which has become part of the Milton Keynes connurbation. There is free car parking outside and behind the shop. As with all our shops, you can find the full range of the Hobgoblin catalogue on display, and of course you can expect the same friendly, well informed service. Additional help and advice is available from our part time staff Emily, Hannah, Tom (Guitar), and a few days each month from the excellent Simon Care (Melodeon etc)

Additional help and advice is available form our part time staff Emily, (Classical Guitar), and Chris Howard-Spink (Guitar, ethnic drums, music history),

Repairs
Like all the other branches of Hobgoblin Music, the Newport Pagnell branch offers a full instrument repair service. John Russell is the regular repairer for the branch, and will give free quotes. John is a violin maker by trade and so violin repairs and restorations are a speciality of this branch. We offer a guitar and fretted instrument repair service using the locally-renowned Andy Viccars, as well as wind repairs with David Lloyd. " '
