For something more savoury visit Miss Muffets Deli in Church street, a specialist in British cheeses and local produce. Locally sourced meat is the focus at out 2 local butchers Halfords in the High Street and Kevin Mace in Barton Street.

Tewkesbury mustard is available in many shops around the town and area, including the Tourist Information Centre

Special presents

If it’s clothes or accessories you’re after, there’s the choice of several boutiques including Pretty Special and Indika.

For some of the finest hand-made Oriental rugs and carpets sourced from around the world, call in to Jennings; a long established family business in Church Street.
