This is the place to be. If you want unique or quirky the makers marker is a must.. the farmers market is a huge hit with homemade treats that you won't find at a bakery from daves craves. Beautiful baked bread cheese alcohol teas and much more. Look out for thier events land Rovers In field, classic car, dog shows, mower racing lots to keep you busy
What a lovely place to visit! With quirky shops and a great café, plenty of free parking too. The centre also holds many events and shows throughout the year. There's something for everyone at the Blake House Craft Centre, I wholeheartedly recommend a visit, you won't be disappointed! Check out their website for a look at the shops on site and for all their upcoming events.
Blake House Craft Centre is a fantastic place to visit. There’s a great variety of independent shops all in one place, so there’s always something interesting to browse and discover. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, and it’s clear a lot of care has gone into creating a lovely destination for visitors. And without doubt, the guitar shop is a must-visit for anyone who loves music. A brilliant selection and a really welcoming place to stop in. Highly recommended if you’re in the area!
A quirky place to visit with many different units to browse. Our favourite was Catherine Price Encaustic Art Studio off the Grain Shed Cafe.
