🌿👑 **FROM ALTERNATIVE MARKET & CREATIVE HUB TO THE HIGH STREET!** 👑🌿

We couldn’t be prouder to share some very special news…

One of our original creatives The Crooked Crown, has officially branched out and opened their very own shop on the high street! ✨

📍 **83 Queens Road, opposite Morrisons**

This is exactly **what AMCH is all about** — creating opportunities, nurturing creativity, supporting small businesses and watching the people who started with us grow, develop and take that next exciting step. 💚

From being one of our originals at Alternative Market & Creative Hub to now having their own highstreet shop — **what an achievement!** 👏

We’re incredibly proud to have played a small part in their journey, and we can’t wait to see where this next chapter takes them.

**Go on, The Crooked Crown — keep branching out! 🌿👑**

Please show them some love, visit the new shop and support this fantastic local creative venture. ❤️

⛵️ **A little moment of calm before work…**

Spotted this little sailing boat out at sea this morning whilst walking into work. There’s something so relaxing about watching a boat gently glide across the water… 🌊

And then I thought — our atmosphere at **Alternative Market & Creative Hub** is nearly as good… just without the rocking! 😄

Come for the creativity, stay for the good vibes. ✨

🖤✨ Meet The Black Cat and Raven ✨🖤

Step into the wonderfully curious world of **The Black Cat and Raven** — one of the independent makers bringing something truly different to the **Alternative Market & Creative Hub**.

From handcrafted mixed-media art and beautifully created resin pieces, to botanical curiosities, skulls, mushrooms, crystals, runes, jewellery and other unusual treasures, there’s something here for those who like their art and gifts with a little bit of **magic, mystery and imagination**. 🐈‍⬛🌙

Every piece has its own character, with a wonderful blend of the natural world, the mystical and the macabre. Whether you're looking for a unique gift, something special for your home, or simply love discovering things that you won't find on the high street, **The Black Cat and Raven is well worth exploring.**

🎥 **Take a look through our video and have a little wander through some of the wonderful creations on offer.**

You never quite know what you might find… 👀🖤
