Browse Our Shops and Boutiques
Southwold’s bustling high street has a fabulous selection of independent shops, selling a whole host of treats! Whether you want to discover local artisan arts and crafts, quirky interiors, vintage wares or specialist cheeses, there’s something for everyone. There’s also a host of independent and high street fashion names, so you can well and truly get your retail therapy while you’re visiting.
Retail
We love Huus gifts and homewares on the high street and Lift lifestyle store, nestled just behind the Adnams café, with its mix of Danish and Japanese inspired designs. Craftco and Serena Hall both showcase local arts and crafts and there’s the famous Collen & Clare fashion boutique, a local institution and hot spot for fashion finds, having been trading in the heart of Southwold for over 20 years with accolades from the likes of Vogue!
Groceries
For food and other essentials we urge you to try to shop independently wherever possible, as there are some wonderful local food stores. You will find the fabulous Mills & Sons & Daughters butchers and Little Gems grocers / whole food store on the town square and on a Monday and Thursday there is also a market selling fresh fruit and veg, as well as a variety of other stalls.
You will find everything you need for the perfect picnic from the wide array of delis selling artisan foods. The Black Olive do great salads, quiches and pies. Get there mid morning before the queues and save for lunch. Try the famous Two Magpies Bakery for posh sausage rolls, brownies and artisan bread or The Farmhouse Bakery for good old traditional sausage rolls and cakes.
Barbrook Stores in Reydon is also just a ten minute walk away (or a two minute drive if you must) - they have a great selection of goodies including fresh fruit and veg, essential groceries, artisan pizzas and yummy cakes.
While you’re in Southwold you really can’t miss The Black Dog Deli across the water in Walberswick either – well worth the ferry trip! While you’re there you can also check out original artwork by local artist Charlie Macksey, famed for his wonderfully illustrated book - The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and the Horse.
