Chipping Norton, or ‘Chippy’ as the locals call it, has been home to The Basket Room for 7 years! My mother-in-law grew up here and her parents worked at the Bliss Tweed Mill where they manufactured tweed.
Chipping Norton has definitely become a little more famous in recent year, thanks in no small part to a certain local farmer and his TV show. But beyond the Clarkson’s Farm effect, it’s a charming, independent market town with characterful old buildings, good coffee and plenty of places to browse.
My favourites are:uk for homewares, textiles and gifts
for herbal tea, incense, multivitamins and local greetings cards
is my go to for book gifts, quirky cards and Xmas pressies
is a little treasure trove of knitting, great for your own projects or gifting yarn!
for the biggest cinnamon buns and delicious coffee
If you’re staying a little longer, .farmshop are all a short drive out of town. And of course, our showroom is a short walk from the centre!
Are you visiting the Cotswolds this Summer?
