Having new makers has also kept the shop fresh and stuffed full of new gift ideas and gives people a reason to keep going back to see what is new and what is the latest on trend gift.
The shop continues to promote guest space every 12 weeks to encourage local creative people to take the leap of faith and launch their work in a busy High Street shop.
Meet the Makers has an ethos of “stronger together” and they work as a team to support, encourage and celebrate all things unique, gifts and people, in the little shop of handmade loveliness.
