It's wonderful to see The ARK in Bretforton open again. The ARK, in addition to selling antiques, now runs a knife & tool sharpening and restoration service. It's open Monday, Wednesday and Friday between 9am and 5pm, and Sunday between 10am and 5pm. Please support it!
Phew what a scorcher! Don't forget we have lots of ice creams and chilled drinks in stock to keep you cool in this exceptionally hot weather. Or add a little ice cream to our delicious Bretforton-grown strawberries for a healthier option.
Yay, we've had our food hygiene inspection and we've passed with flying colours getting a score of 5, the top rating! Congratulations to Amber, Lisa and all our volunteers for their hard work in helping us achieve this. Great work team!
