A collective of small independent businesses has come together to open a new shop on Burford High Street in the heart of the Cotswolds. The shop, known as No. 31, opened its doors on 6 June and will host an all-day event on Saturday 20 July to celebrate the launch.
No. 31 is a collaboration of 11 small independent businesses situated in a 13th-century building on Burford High Street, a popular destination in the Cotswolds. Together the brands offer a curated selection of high-quality products from homeware, candles and skincare to knitwear, jewellery and stationery.
The shop also includes two award-winning children’s brands: Ducky Zebra, which offers fun, sustainable childrenswear, and The Phive, which makes kids’ creative learning tools.
Furthermore, customers can enjoy freshly prepared, locally sourced food by Nutmeg & Thyme. Nutmeg & Thyme is Burford’s only 100% vegan and gluten-free food outlet, allowing customers to enjoy something a little different.
