Are we special?

We think so, and our customers tell us the same. And it’s all down to the people.

We’re the heart of the community, ever evolving. Whether it’s creating and caring for our shop orchard, running artisan markets, running free activities for children, creating beautiful displays, or winning awards - we work together to make our shop and café a great place to be.

And if you have ideas for how to make it even better, please let us know.
