The Courtyard is delighted to announce that its brand-newshop will be opening to the public on Wednesday 3November. 

The Courtyard’s new retail space aims to provide Herefordshire based brands the opportunity to sell their unique gifts, handmade crafts and artisan creations. It will be a space to connect local makers to shoppers, creating a unique and more fulfilling shopping experience. 

“Herefordshire is home to a wealth of talented people.”Says Courtyard Shop Retail Consultant, Beth Terzza, â€śI hope to create a space here at The Courtyard where we can really shout about local artists and makers. Championing our creative community, we have over 40 local suppliers creating everything from contemporary crafts to small handmade gifts and eco-friendly produce. We are very excited to open our doors on 3 November! Come and say hello, shop local and support The Courtyard Trust and your creative community.”

The shop furnishings have been devised by retail Interior company Forma Design, based in Malvern. Sustainability and flexibility were at the core of the design to enable the display of all manner of products. Forma have previously designed retail units for the likes of Selfridges, Lindt, Quicksilver and Harrods, as well as many independent commercial projects.  

The new Courtyard Shop has been created as part of The Courtyard’s Capital Expansion Project, Transform The Yard which saw the building undergo extensive renovations. 

Transform The Yard saw significant changes to the building, including a more accessible entrance and Box Office, a new multipurpose room, an extended Café Bar area and brand-new mezzanine restaurant, lounge bar and rooftop terrace.
