Entertaining Elephants is an organic food/local gift store that I couldn't resist popping in to before leaving Church Stretton. Downstairs is the food area with a great array of packaged and fresh food stuffs. They specialise in local and organic, and if I lived in the area I would certainly be a regular at this shop. Unfortunately, they didn't really have many products that I wanted to take away as gifts - I was particularly looking for locally produced item such as jam, honey and ales but I couldn't find what I was looking for.
They did have a nice selection of organic cosmetics and candles and I picked up some lovely handmade soaps for an upcoming birthday.
The area upstairs specialises in locally made products and gifts. There were some lovely wood carved items and some beautiful books, but I managed to restrain myself from making any further purchases! read more
