Our little shop is also bursting with festive treats! From Christmas cards to homemade preserves and even Robins made from cutlery, our local artists have so much to offer.

Mrs Smith’s Seasonal & Sustainable Living Ideas book was a hit last Christmas, and it’s not too late to pick one up this year. Full of old fashioned eco-friendly ideas that she would have known, it makes a lovely souvenir and point of reference for growing, cooking, and crafting, throughout the seasons.
