SHOPPING IN TETBURY
Tetbury is known for its wonderful array of antiques, clothes and gift shops. These shops are our particular favourites and worth a visit on your next trip to Tetbury. From Scentiments whose windows are filled with seasonal flowers, to Moloh and its British-designed and made clothing, to the two shops that sit at each end of the interiors spectrum - Brownrigg and Treacle George. What they have in common is their owners' unerring good taste and creative flair.
