If you’ve not visited the centre recently, you may have missed two of our most recent quirky new shops! Don’t get yourselves in a pickle though, as there’s still plenty of time to come and check them out!
The Sticky Pickle Company was established in 2015 in Essex and has grown from strength to strength and their new home is now here at Blake House Craft Centre at The Sticky Pickle Pantry! If you’re stuck and don’t know whether to go for their popular piccalilli or the amazing apricot chutney, there is a tasting table here in the shop giving you the opportunity to sample the fabulous flavours available for you to take home. If having tried them, you still can’t decide, why not fill a gift box with all your favourites?
Lovingly homemade with pride and passion in small batches guarantees freshness and quality. With no artificial colours or preservatives, Ian uses local producers wherever possible in his list of ingredients, winning numerous awards for the amazing range of pickles and chutneys.
Just across the grass of the old farm courtyard, an 18th century listed corn barn now houses a wonderfully quirky array of antiques and vintage furniture alongside a carefully curated range of eclectic homeware… welcome to the Quirky Magpie!
Filled with timeless charm, Claire and Chris have filled the space with a range of pieces that feel at home in their surroundings. Things don’t stand still for long here however, as there is a good turnaround of stock, and they warmly invite you to enter and enjoy the auction game with them. Always worth making an offer, right?
