They are more mass produced products and for the most part not hand made at all.  Saying that, you would find something unusual to buy, if looking for something a little bit  different.  The restaurant is very nice and the food enjoyable, ample parking..although some work to the canal by the side of the car park was being carried out on our last visit, which may cause some disruption for a time.Unless you like antiques, or happen to be in the area as we were, don’t make a special trip as you will probably be done and dusted within a couple of hours including a cuppa!If you do decide to pay the centre a visit they do have a web site  Afonwen Antiques, gift and craft centre where you will find out all the info you need. i.e. opening times, direction, address etc.

We’ve been there several times over the past few years and have never been disappointed. They have about 20 craft shops in and around the Edwardian stable block and courtyard, a restaurant, small garden centre, aquatic and falconry centre. There is plenty of parking and you can easily while away a few pleasant hours here meandering from shop to shop looking for that elusive or unique gift.

From time to time they host craft fairs and antique & collector’s fairs, so check out the Blakemere website if you are planning a visit and see what events they have planned.
