Locally Handcrafted Gifts, Cards & Artwork

All items in the shop are handcrafted and local. 

We now have over 90 artists displaying their products and we know each artist personally !  

We are now Open Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays 9:30-5pm. We have been doing really well, with lots of you popping in and buying our local Artist's work. Despite the Government relaxing the rules, in view of the continuing surge in Covid rates that you will still need to wear a mask in the shop.

Unfortunately we will not be able to serve teas & coffees for the time being, and it will be a while before we can run workshops and Community Groups again.  And if you have saved money over the last few lockdowns, how about a piece of original artwork (or a framed print) to brighten your house ?  We have plenty on show.

The good news is that our Artists have had lots of time at home to produce new work and new ideas (see below for some examples)
