Our Norwich Shop

Our Norwich Shop is situated in one of the oldest parts of the city. We are housed in a beautiful Tudor building in the ancient cobbled street of Elm Hill. The original elm tree is long gone, but the shop sits opposite a lovely plane tree which stands in its place. At the rear of the shop is a peaceful garden thought to have been designed by the late Gertrude Jekyll.

​

We have two large Georgian glass windows which are always displayed with bears, and shelves upon shelves of bears created by talented artists and sought-after manufacturers.

​

Even on the coldest and dampest of days there is a warm glow from the windows onto the cobbles in the street. Visitors are drawn in, and once inside they are encouraged to pick up the bears. We are definitely a 'hands on' rather than a 'don't touch' shop.

​

In the summer, the sunlight filters through the plane tree in the square outside and softly warms the bears with life.
