Sound — soft acoustic strings
A low hum of violin and piano drifts from the workshop rooms. Some days it's a lesson in progress; some days it's just the radio low. Either way, it slows you down.
Come and find us
Behind the high street, you'll find the hive.
Tucked away at the rear of 46 St Mary St, opposite the small carpark — a few steps off the high street and into a quieter kind of making.
Directions & hours
How to reach the door.
No grand shopfront — that's rather the point. Here's everything you need to find us, and when the kettle's on.

Getting here
- Look for the lane to the rear of 46 St Mary St — we're set back from the street, facing the small carpark.
- Free short-stay parking sits right opposite; the main town carparks are a two-minute stroll away.
- On foot from the high street, it's a gentle minute's walk — follow the music.

Step inside
You don't walk into a shop —
you step into a living atelier.
The feeling reaches you before the rail does. BeeSpoke is built for the senses, not the till — a sanctuary to slow down in while the work hums around you.
Scent — cedarwood & lavender
Warm cedarwood from the timber and trims, lavender from the linen press. The smell of a place where things are cared for, not shrink-wrapped.
Touch — fabrics with a past
Bolts of upcycled cloth and salvaged trims you're welcome to handle. Run your hand along a reclaimed wool, a vintage silk — and feel the next piece begin.
Start a conversation
Tell us what you'd like to make or mend.
A repair, a workshop place, a one-off Lab piece — or something we haven't thought of yet. Drop us a note and we'll come back to you by hand.
A small studio, a real reply
There's no call-centre here — just us at the bench. Quotes are given in person or by message; nothing's priced until we've seen the piece and understood what you're after.
BEESPOKEThe kettle's on.
The kettle's on.
Come and find the hive.
Pop in during opening hours, or give us a ring first — we love knowing who's on their way.
