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 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. We would prefer it if you wear a mask when visiting the shop.

We will not be serving teas & coffees for the time being, but we intend to start running our Workshops and Community Groups again in the Spring Term.  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)
