Amazing shop with amazing artists

Have you considered having your products, makes, items or art within a lovely setting, sold for you 7 days a week whilst you are at work or busy with life or family commitments?

We have many different options within our Collective stores starting as low as £6 per week, which means its absolutely more affordable than you think.

Talk to us, pop into store and speak to any of our members. We have no staff so everyone you speak to is a maker or artist themselves and they will happily chat with you about their experiences. Most of our members, go on to stock multiple stores, elevate their business or join our eventing team over at Little Hummingbird Events.

One size absolutely does not fit all - so we pride ourselveson making a space to suit the person, the maker, the artist and the circumstances - taking into account financial status, disabilities and other private circumstances. Nothing should stop you from doing what makes you happy. And we are definitely note a "rent a shelf" style set up.

Join The Hummingbird Collective today.

Are you local to Retford or the surrounding villages? Fancy a stroll around a brand-new event in Retford Market Square this Sunday, 10am-4pm.?

Spearheaded by Little Hummingbird Events and supported by staff and members of The Hummingbird Collective (which resides on the Market Square itself, inside the former NatWest Bank), this event will be a charming showcase of local entrepreneurs, farmers, growers, crafters, foodies, and more.

We will bring the Market Square to life with food and gift inspiration, handmade goods and local produce, which should bring extra footfall into the town and benefit all local businesses.

If you are a local business opening in Retford on Sunday, please jump on this train and give us a like and share. Likewise, tag your own business and we will re-share you too.

Special thanks to Bassetlaw District Council for supporting this project and for being so tremendously helpful throughout the process. Thank you also to the Mayor. She is great champion for all we do for Retford. Thank you Hilary.

Ten Green Bottles and Rondo Lounge will be open for your hot drinks and delights.

🍸 Garden day, cocktail evening.

After a sunny day in the garden, there’s nothing better than keeping the evening going a little longer.

'Havana Allure' brings fresh mint and zesty lime together with smooth cognac and warm musk, giving it that relaxed, cocktail-in-hand feeling without being overly sweet.

Open doors, good music, something cold in the glass, and a scent made for warm bank holiday evenings.
