As the first shop to open at Snape Maltings in 1971, the Craft Shop stays true to its roots and is brimming with thoughtfully selected ranges from skilled artisans across Suffolk and the UK, as well as further afield. Charming hand-thrown pottery collections sit alongside a beautiful curation of jewellery, small batch beauty ranges, local interest books and hand crafted items for the home.

We’re also extremely proud to stock a wide range of Fair Trade collections from artisan makers around the world including Nepal, Indonesia, the Philippines and India. Over the years we have developed strong relationships with the community of independent businesses who are dedicated to promoting Fair Trade retail in the UK, and who are members of the BAFTS network (British Association for Fair Trade Shops).

In recognition of our commitment to supporting these wonderful businesses, Snape Maltings is officially certified as a Friend of BAFTS Fair Trade Network. We’re honoured to have been awarded this important accreditation, and feel immense pride in being able to champion so many Fair Trade ranges in our Craft Shop.
