Rachael talks to every customer to understand the age, needs and interests of the children you're buying for. She has a particular interest in books with strong social messages and helping kids make sense of things so excellent for children with differences or going through challenging times in life. The shop also hosts other events so is really part of he community. Have a magical time and support a fantastic local business by spending your time and £££s here.

The Higgins Bedford

The Higgins Bedford is Bedford's art gallery and museum. It's a place to explore collections of fine & decorative arts, world-class watercolours, local stories and find out about great Bedfordians. Changing exhibitions mean there is always something new to see. There is lots to do for all the family.

Should be nationally recognised. Firstly you have the rooms celebrating the history of Bedford from prehistoric to present. Then the exhibitions displaying the recent histories of immigrants to the town. Then a fantastic art gallery/rooms with pictures by Turner , impressionists, modernists, contemporary Art, etc. Then upstairs rooms of fantastic glassware, and pottery. Can take a few hours to browse your way round, then a look round the shop, before dining at the very highly rated Higgins Pantry. If you have any time left a visit to the next door Bunyan Museum, and .......Panacea museum. Three treasures in the centre of Bedford.

Found this little Gem while researching real Sourdough bread. Popped in this morning to buy some bread from the Companions bakery which is behind the Cafe. Though the Cafe could not serve at the moment I bought some delicious bread and locally sourced Honey and Jam. The Gentleman who served me was very polite. I will certainly be back
