Last night I spent a lovely evening at the preview for Creative Up North's first ever Pop Up Shop.
The shop, which runs from 4th to 7th December 10am - 6pm, is the brainchild of the hub's Creative Director Sarah Davy. On arriving at the hub I was made to feel most welcome, the wine and mince pie really helped, and it was great to meet and chat to some of the artists. Sarah has done a great job setting out the shop which is full of visual and tactile goodies, I definitely felt I wanted to explore to see what wonders I could find.You can follow what's happening at the hub on Facebook too.
I best mention the welcome warmth of the cappuccino from Hairy Bear Coffee, thank you it was lovely.
To give you an idea of some of the delightful treasures in store for you on a visit to the shop, I thought a few photos were in order. So here's a selection taken on my mobile, I apologise in advance for the quality!
