The Crafty Cave is home to creations from more than 30 independent small businesses, with makers from both the local area and further afield showcasing their products under one roof. With over 90% of items handmade, the store offers customers the opportunity to discover one-of-a-kind purchases while supporting talented artisans and small businesses.

Created with a passion for championing independent retailers, The Crafty Cave provides a much-needed bricks-and-mortar presence for small businesses, giving makers the chance to share their creations with a wider audience and helping to promote the importance of shopping local.

The store is also introducing a thoughtful and inclusive calm zone for families. Inspired by the owners’ experiences as parents to two autistic boys, the space has been designed to offer children somewhere quiet to relax. Featuring free creative activities such as drawing and crafts, the area is available at no charge and aims to provide a welcoming environment where families can take a break and recharge.

Whether you’re looking for handmade gifts, local crafts, home décor, or simply want to support independent businesses, The Crafty Cave is a wonderful new addition to Templars Square.
