The Milk Shed
Clare and Scott Forrest will be opening the Milk Shed Café just outside of Sproughton on the 12th April. The couple were both made redundant in lockdown 1 and so decided to follow their dream of opening a café. The Milk Shed will be based around the Swedish tradition of Fika and is set in a former cow shed. Scott had previously worked in Scandinavia and had been inspired by their pace of life. The Milk Shed will serve up speciality coffee and award winning tea, freshly prepared bakes and a seasonal menu. Get ready for squidgy cinnamon rolls, carrot cake, brownies and smorgasbords!
Curse Clothing
Mother and daughter team, Siobahn and Jane, hand-make these gorgeous garments from their home studio in Suffolk. If you love romantic looks with big sleeves and even bigger collars, then you will definitely want to check out Curse. The pair are inspired by vintage silhouettes, in particular the Edwardian style. By investing in these pieces you’ll know exactly who, where and when your clothes were made.
Lipstick and Locks
The popular salon in Sudbury will be opening a second location in Bury St Edmunds! Visit for hair styling, make up, beauty treatment and cocktails. The salon also offers a membership for those that love a regular pamper – pop in for hairstyling, makeup and a cocktail before a night out.
