Wistanstow Shop

THE SMITHY SHOP

Wistanstow

Next to the Village School

Wistanstow's Village Shop[1] was set up in 1999 by renovating a former Smithy; a very attractive single story listed building retaining many original features. Behind the Shop is a very pretty garden with unique locally made, handcrafted garden furniture.

The shop is run entirely by volunteers who are always ready to stop for a chat to customers and we have a noticeboard for events, services and items for sale.

The Shop is open from 8.45-11 and 2.45-5 each weekday and also when there are events taking place in the village.

Although small, the shop is well stocked and we encourage customers to ask us to supply anything they require. In addition to selling traditional convenience items including sweets and drinks, we offer a range of Fairtrade and ecologically produced goods. We aim to source and market local produce [including home produce] such as bread, fruit, vegetables, eggs, honey, apple juice, jams and pickles. We also have a range of greetings cards made by local artists.

If you would like to help in the shop, or with purchasing, or if you would like a local outlet for crafts, gifts, artwork or foodstuffs, we would love to hear from you.
