A lovely feel. Lots of curios and crafts to browse and buy. Café is okay but pricey for what you get. Really nice buildings. Garden centre adjacent. Chocolatey treats and ice creams available. Not massive but charming, with a kids' play area by the café.

Beautiful local independent shops, selling produce made by their employment keen to support people with disabilities, as well as handmade crafts. We happen to visit on the weekend of the Christmas market, which was beautiful.

Visited Taurus Crafts and absolutely loved the number of locally-sourced small businesses and independent shops. Particularly wanted to shout out the Little Bazaar which was a favourite. As a coin collector I could’ve spent hours in there, and it’s amazing to see such a passionate and enthusiastic owner of the shop who was lovely to talk to. Thank you once again. Most of the shops at Taurus Crafts are wheelchair accessible but some can be a bit tight inside. Didn’t stop me from exploring thoroughly and having a wonderful time. Will be back soon!

A marvelous Bazaar! Taurus Crafts is such a magical site with such a great variety of small stall/shops, independent and local people! Community support and volunteers being given training and opportunities, a brewery, chocolate shop, zero waste organic store, a gorgeous nursery at the back and there's some shops selling stuff from vintage goods to books and crystals and all sorts! Fresh bread at 10, get your skates on!! Quickly becoming one of my favourite places to spend a few hours. Everyone working and volunteering are absolute angels and just, yeah.. always come home with a smile, a happy tummy, some new treasure and a new addition to the garden! :)
