You've got to visit this great gift shop when you visit Westward Ho, we come here 3 or 4 times a year and we always visit this wonderful emporium of gifts and walk out with a bagful of goodies. There's something for everyone, kids, adults, some lovely memorabilia, cheap and cheerful for the kids as well as lovely selection of things for the home. Clive and Cath are lovely friendly people, helpful and knowledgeable about the local area, tides etc. Go and visit you dont find many of these fantastic shops around now a days.

Had an absolutely fantastic day with Gigha on the stained glass and driftwood workshop. There were an abundance of wonderful materials to choose from, clear instructions and all the help needed. The workshop space is so inviting, warm and friendly with Gigha’s beautiful creations all around to feast your eyes on. The hardest part of the day was my own decision making and choosing from all the wonderful colours and textures. Truly a fantastic experience and whilst I’m not local I will 100% be back for more... thank you Gigha

Sunshine & Snow

Sunshine and Snow stock a carefully curated collection of homeware, gifts and clothing. India opened the shop in 2018 after noticing the lack of design-led, artisan homeware and gifts available locally. There are two floors to explore, and plans for a cafe in the future.
