                              Analyst Visit

Ottakar's plc is today taking analysts on a store tour to Guildford, one of the
four new stores opened this year. Guildford is projected to be the group's
seventh largest store by turnover over the next three years, and includes Costa
coffee and Scrivo stationery concessions over 10,000 square feet of trading
space.

The Group's next trading update will be the Christmas trading statement
scheduled for 16 January 2004 and therefore there will be no current trading
update as part of today's visit.
