I chanced on this wonderful gift store in Belleek which is less than 5 mins round the corner from the Belleek Pottery & Visitor's Centre. Lots of local crafts and jewellery, coasters, tea towels and other special gifts, something for everyone! Pauline the owner is so friendly and welcoming and when I asked about the celtic legends and mythology surrounding the significance of the gifts I was buying, she was happy to oblige! Made my day, friendly service and great shopping experience! Great gift store!

As others have mentioned there is no tours happening at the moment due to Covid but nonetheless we popped in here to see the place. Lots of free parking available. There is an extensive display of items from their history since the 1800’s which you can walk around and read all about. There is also a video showing at the start of the display which gives a thorough understanding of how the china is made and gives you a wonderful appreciation of the craftsmanship that goes into the finer pieces and baskets in particular. The shop was great. Plenty of gift items at reasonable prices. All in all a lovely way to spend an hour or so and even the young kids got into it and enjoyed it. Highly recommend.
