As of Saturday 4th Novemever we are open until 5pm. Its definitely time to start spreading some cheer. xx

What can you find in the new Wotton 240 print?

After a rather long wait Richard has finished the Wotton-under-Edge print - 'Wotton 240 Buildings'. This wonderful print is now available in A3/A2 with a limited edition run of 240 prints. Available directly from us here at Surroundings and Fifi's Fancy Furniture, Wotton.  A large version is looking wonderful on the wall at 'The Edge' cafe, Wotton.  This is a regular hang-out for us and a real honour to have the print on display there (they also have the best bakewell tart). Have a look and see the little extras Richard has added within the streets. We hope you like it.
