Craft shops to look around and various others and of course the lovely crystal shop,good cafe delicious food, and scrumptious cakes...Nice horse shoe sculptures dotted around the place and others to spot..Good friendly service,dog friendly outside dining area under cover too.

Wonderful little set of small shops set a delightful set of farm buildings.
The coffee and food cafe was a welcome place for us to enjoy a coffee and a lovely slice of cake 🍰 after going around the unit’s.
It’s has a large parking area so no problem 😉 with that .
My wife Pauline and my self particularly liked the Cristal shop Pica Crystal & Gifts, and the young lady that’s runs it was extra friendly
😀so made us feel very welcome 🙏 I’m very sure we will return on our next visit to the area.

Lovely little art and crafts emporiums- with so much beautiful stuff 😍 could have brought it all home. We had a coffee in the cafe too. Definitely over delivered on expectations- so much to look at and buy. Amazing crystal and gift shops, and an amazing jewellery shop.

Lots of small craft shops and local businesses to visit, plus a lovely cafe with a courtyard for warmer days to visit.

This is a lovely cafe / restaurant. It's tucked off the beaten track but well worth finding. A very extensive menu and very friendly helpful staff. We had breakfast/ brunch and it was delicious and provided quickly. The added bonus here are the craft shops, some of which were closed this early in the year. Check it out, you'll not be disappointed.

lovely food, relaxed and friendly, dogs welcome, Craft classes and interesting units. reasonable prices

Think Mollys pet shop has a great selection of pet food and treats/toys. My three dogs loved it and enjoyed getting a free biscuit from the owner, they also love the new collars and my cats really like chasing their new toys.
On my last trip I picked up some bird feeders which are keeping the birds very well fed.

The cafe at Henstead was perfect for lunch and has exceptional homemade cake.

Overall the arts and crafts centre is an absolutely lovely place to visit for a day out, with a nice collection of shops to explore.

A lovely little site with multiple units. Pet shop is great and has most items you will need.
Lesley pike has a wonderful glass shop and I have previously commissioned a piece which was amazing.

What a great place to spend a couple if hours, have lunch while youre there.. Lovely food in the cafe there. Great shops with loads of different things to see and do. Craft classes too.

I love the experience of visiting this homely craft centre, especially the lovely cafe which offers the opportunity to enjoy a hot or cold meal and a welcome cuppa followinga good browse of the craft shops. All very reasonably priced.

Little Gem Tucked Away Off A12 if you like nik nacs place to go nice cafe as well

Lovely little area of craft and art retail units by local folk. Some really lovely stuff there and not pricey. Cafe is a bit limited but nice cakes. Only saw 1 toilet but plenty of parking. Interesting things for sale in the reclamatiin yard. Worth a look.

Our Daughters took us there today my wife and I found it very interesting as we both like looking at the items on display we purchased a few items then we went in to the little Cafe very nice clean premises very helpful and polite staff we just had three teas and one coffee nicely served at the table by young lady.
We was very impressed with the whole visit and next time we come up to see our Daughters we will come here again.

Lovely cafe and lots of independent little shops.

What a delightful little place! Lesley was very helpful, look forward to seeing our purchase. A must place to visit. ❤

Lovely array of individual art and craft units plus a cafe. This visit was with my son specifically to look at and indeed purchase a pine wardrobe for him from one such unit - Young and Old. Owner Jemma very friendly and helpful. Shop had other nice pieces also with reasonable prices. Jemma delivered wardrobe to Lowestoft also at a reasonable price. All round good service.

Fantastic find ... lots to look at and buy and coffee shop is lovely staff and all owners very friendly and accommodating would recommend a visit

Such an interesting visit. Something for everyone. Best of all a really good Cafe on site. Good coffee , lunches and cakes. Well worth a visit.

A good mixture of solid furniture & other quality items.
