I’ve just discovered Wells Craft Quarter! This group of vibrant, creative shops have gathered together and breathed exciting new life into the area just off Market Street.

A gorgeous treasure trove of fabrics, buttons and ribbons can be found at Sew Vintage. Jules the owner is delightful and runs a sewing and knitting parlour where you can acquire new skills and rediscover some of those long forgotten. Close by is High Wire – a gem of a gift shop tucked away down a little alley. Owner Sara makes exquisite wire chandeliers and sells an eclectic range of new and re-found items. You’ll also find Just Make, a small craft shop and workshop studio selling beautifully handcrafted ceramic pieces and jewellery. There’s a great fruit and veg stall on the corner and it’s rumoured a teashop will opening soon too, just to complete a well worthwhile visit to the ‘craft quarter’.
