Studio

The dream of opening my own shop has been bubbling away for years and returning back to work after my maternity leave was the turning point for everything. As a first time mum, I genuinely found the thought of going shopping or popping out for a coffee terrifying! Will I be able to get the pram in the shop on my own? What if the baby does a poo-nami and there's nowhere to change her? (Yes, we've all been there!) What do I do if she starts screaming the place down? Will there be enough space for the pram? Where will I feed her? ...the list goes on!

This experience is exactly what sparked the idea behind Pen & Pearl Studio. I wanted to create a family focused space where parents feel welcome and worries can be left at the door. A space where you can have a moan about how little sleep you got last night or how many tantrums you've endured before 9am all whilst enjoying a warm drink and a tasty cake.

The studio is a creative space where everyone is welcome (even well behaved pups are allowed in!) Our design-led gift shop is fully stocked with goodies including greetings cards for any occasion, books, toys, candles, stationery and so much more.

At the back of the shop you'll find our coffee shop and play area which is free for children to use as long as adults are buying a drink. We serve an extensive drinks menu and have a selection of sweet treats and snacks available - you can view our full menu below.
