Our Story

Shop for the Senses

On the edge of the Lake District, Shop for the Senses was born during a time of uncertainty, but we were determined to create something that would inspire connection—between people, nature, and artistry. Opening our doors in 2021, we faced the challenges of a world in lockdown, but our vision was clear: to curate a space where every product invites you to slow down, take a breath, and reconnect with the world around you.

Four years later, we’re proud to be a part of the vibrant Lake District community, offering a collection of locally crafted treasures that engage all of your senses. From the gentle flicker of hand-poured candles to the tactile beauty of a handmade throw and the vivid colours of original artwork, our shop is a celebration of nature, craftsmanship, and the joy of discovery.

Our journey has been shaped by the resilience of our customers, the passion of the artisans we partner with, and the ever-present inspiration of the fells, lakes, and forests that surround us. We’re so grateful to have made it this far, and we look forward to continuing to bring the beauty of the Lake District to your home for many years to come.

Thank you for supporting us, and for allowing us to be part of your sensory journey.
