Exciting things afoot at Bird's Yard

We have new spaces opening up in Bird's Yard!

Before what was two shops is being made into LOADS meaning we can offer much more space than before!

There are also new ways of working with us - so if you've been in touch before about selling, and found nothing which suited you, why not try again? We're tweaking the system to suit everyone involved so just try us.

Also we're running a competition to paint the front and side of our building. We've had some absolute belters of entries so far!

So if you want to work with us, either by submitting an entry for a painting the front of the building, selling things with us, or even just using your talents in some other way, then please tweet us at @birdsyard or email michelle@birdsyard.co.uk and lets work together!

Monday Featured Designer - Siobhan Murphy

New to Bird's Yard, we have Siobhan Murphy, who makes beautiful encrusted items, including hats, handbags and photo frames.

She moved in less than a  month ago, and after about 6 hours, a handbag had been snapped up!

If you'd like to follow her on twitter, you can find her @craftkittenuk - to have a look at what you might find in our shop before you come along, she also has a Craft Kitten UK Etsy Shop.
