A true ‘hub’ for the community, run by the community
An award-winning independent shop and café (not to blow our own trumpet but we won ‘Best rural shop in Britain’ in 2019 and have many other awards).
We look forward to welcoming you.
Our MP, Olivia Bailey, with Trish and Ani.
“I was pleased to pop in to the brilliant Hampstead Norreys Community Shop and say hi to the fab team. What an amazing asset for the local community.”
Thank you to those who attended our Annual General Meeting at the shop on Tuesday 24th June to share a glass of wine and to hear the latest news. The annual report for 2024 can be found here.
