Things to do in Salisbury, England: The Best Lessons & Workshops
If you saw Chevy Chase's masterpiece European Vacation, you'll recognize Stonehenge's massive formation. (As a citizen of the world, you should recognize Stonehenge anyway.) The prehistoric stone circle is eight miles from Salisbury, and its visitors provide a boost to the local economy. With a history dating back over 5,000 years, there is no shortage of significant places to visit in and around Salisbury. On the "must see" list are Salisbury Cathedral, Longleat and Stourhead gardens (and Stonehenge, of course).

Very attractive setting in an very interesting gallery with lots of tempting art and craft work for sale. Lovely little cafe - very popular so expect to queue at lunchtime even mid-week. Food was very reasonable and exceptionally good value - I honestly think the citrus and za'atar chicken sandwich I had was the best sandwich I have ever had. Lovely staff and very good service.

This shop has an excellent range of sewing and embroidery machines, over lockers and coverstitch machines. The staff are highly knowledgeable about the products they sell and try and help you make the right purchase for you. They do not pressure you at all, which I love. They provide an opportunity for you to really understand any machine you buy. If you just want to buy some quilting fabrics, cottons or kits and maybe some wool too; they will help you with that.
