SO MANY NEW REASONS TO VISIT KIRKBY LONSDALE…
OK, we may be a little biased, but our beautiful historic town has always been regarded as the ‘sweet spot’ between Lancashire, Cumbria & North Yorkshire. Even after the devastating fire last December, Kirkby Lonsdale has been named as one of the ‘Best Places to Live in the UK’ by The Sunday Times.
Apart from the beautiful walks around the town, Kirkby Lonsdale has a fabulous range of boutique hotels, cafes and restaurants as well as its very own brewery and ice cream parlour!
Abrahams, our award-winning lifestyle store is just one of the many small family run shops that are a delight to discover.
As always, we have sourced unusual and little-known brands from around the world to create an Aladin’s cave of new delights for our customers this season…
Venetian glass from Murano, beadwork brooches from Delhi, homeware from Marrakech, horn jewellery from Hanoi, enamel bracelets from Bordeaux and necklaces from Copenhagen sit alongside our ever-popular clothing brands: OUI, Vilagallo, Maison Hotel for women as well as Rodd & Gunn, BRAX, Eterna & R2Amsterdam for men.
We have become the ‘go-to” Store’ for unusual gift ideas – be it fabulously packaged Ortigia fragrances, Charbonnel et Walker chocolates, Liberty printed goodies, Peanuts & Snoopy accessories or locally made horn products (to name just a few). There really is something for everyone and for every pocket!
And this month we have a new addition to the roster of notable Kirkby Lonsdale landmarks. As well as Ruskin’s View and The Devil’s Bridge, international artist, Andy Kay has gifted his 4-metre-tall steel ram sculpture to his hometown.
This striking figure can now be seen on the A65 roundabout near Booth’s supermarket to welcome visitors. The ram is inspired by the old drover’s roads used by hill farmers to bring their sheep to the town’s market. It is also the logo of the Kirkby Lonsdale Rugby Club!
So, there are many reasons to plan a visit to our unique and wonderful town especially as small independent shops are fast disappearing. If you love specialist shops, unrivalled customer care or just a really fabulous shopping experience, please put Kirkby Lonsdale and of course Abrahams on your radar!
With love Josie, JAC & the Abrahams team XX
