The Owl & Fox

It sounds like a lovely children’s book, but this is in fact the newest shop to open up here at the centre and when you step inside, it feels like you are entering a magical story! 

The Owl & Fox Art Gallery houses a wide range of beautiful, hand made crafts by Amanda Clark from original framed paintings to ceramics and wall hangings to gift cards, plus a range of homeware all carefully woven together to create an aesthetic reflecting Amanda’s own special bohemian style that has inspired this dreamy, nature filled wonderland.

Newly opened this weekend, she also plans to include work from other creatives and hopes to be able to use her space here as a studio, allowing her to paint in the shop during quieter periods. 

As an artist of over twenty years and having lived all her life in East Anglia, Amanda loves spending time in nature and draws her inspiration from the wonders seen around her and often spends her time painting through the night. She has turned her hand to a variety of crafts that you can find here in the gallery, all with her own special style and of course regularly featuring owls and foxes, alongside other wildlife. You can also find her illustrations in a beautiful colouring book, allowing you to add your own touch to her unique designs. 

Open 10am – 5pm, Tuesday – Sunday, with our shops all now filled, make sure you take time to visit this gallery the next time you visit.
