The Blackmore Vale’s latest upmarket browsing destination began trading on 20 November, providing another good reason to shop in Sturminster Newton.
The former NatWest Bank on Market Cross, now renamed 1855 in recognition of the date it was built, offers space to over 30 locally based artisans selling a cornucopia of unique wares including clothing, china, books, wines, liqueurs, ciders, books, furniture, pictures, blacksmithing products and more.
The official opening took place at the Town’s Christmas event on 25 November when Sonnaz, the renowned upholsterer from BBC One’s The Repair Shop, cut the ribbon. 1855 is open 10am–4pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and 11am–3pm on Sundays.
