It's Pride month so we've resurrected an old joke from some years ago and made a few batches of our special limited edition Gay Bar. This mixes some of our other soaps in a frankly poor effort to reproduce the rainbow flag but on the good side the label is mildly amusing, the soap is lovely and we're sending every penny of the £5 asking price for each bar sold directly to the Albert Kennedy Trust, the charity which provides invaluable support for LGBTQ+ young people facing or experiencing homelessness or living in a hostile environment.
This is only available while stocks last and was quite popular when we first did it so order promptly or call into the shop if you'd like some!
Visit the Gay Bar product page...I am proud and pleased to say that The Ostrich Inn, South Creake, Norfolk has picked us to supply them with guest amenities in the form of little soaps, hand wash and body lotion.
The building, in the heart of the village, has been empty since 2017, but Teresa and her team have taken it on, plus the cottage next door, and are in the process of re-doing the interior and the exterior to offer letting rooms, a bar and restaurant and a self-catering cottage to book too. The Ostrich will open from 1 July, but they are taking bookings now.
And on top of the fabulous new offering of food, drink and beautiful rooms, I reckon the icing on the cake is the presence of our soaps, custom labelled for The Ostrich, in every room.
Best of luck to all and I'm really looking forward to seeing it when it's finished. Sara
The Ostrich Inn, South Creake, NorfolkOur tiny shop on Wells quay has reopened, with fresh stock and a touch of paint and we'd be delighted to see you. We stock our full range of soaps, shampoo bars and other products all handmade just up the road in Wells-next-the-Sea, along with some accessories and related products from other suppliers.
The shop is almost under the gantry on the much-pictured Granary building on Wells quayside so it's easy to find but if you're coming by car you'll need to be parked nearby, either on the quay or in one of the town's other car parks, as there's no parking outside.
The shop will be open from 11am to 4pm on Wednesdays through to Saturdays throughout the summer and into the autumn and winter - assuming all is well with the world by then.
We've been getting our shop ready to reopen in April and we've been left with some older stock that hasn't been sold while the shop was closed during the lockdown. There's nothing wrong with these bars – they are neither seconds nor dusty – but we're going to restock the shop with freshly made and wrapped bars.
So, as a post-lockdown special, we're offering a box of 6 assorted 'slightly older' full-size soap bars for just £20 with free postage and packing. This is a saving both on the price of the bars individually and on delivery.
Each box will contain 6 different soaps from our range chosen at random.
Supplies will be limited so first come, first served.
Now sold out - sorry!
It's not quite Spring up here in Wells just yet though the signs are that it isn't far away even if spells of cold and bad weather make it hard to be sure. The daffodils are almost out (and have been that way for some time) and water levels in the local rivers are falling after a winter where most spilled over into floods, leaving some villages and many paths a mess.
The long lockdown too also feels like its lifting, with schools back and sterling work done by local health teams at vaccination centres helping to limit Covid 19's reach.
So we're looking on the bright side and getting ready for Spring with the shop due to reopen on 14th April with fresh stock and a bit of a spruce up and we can then hopefully reintroduce a click-and-collect service for those who want it. The shop will be open Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 11-4.
If you're not local or can't wait, please order from this website and we'll get your parcel in the post as soon as we can.
Due to the government's reimposition of lockdown, we must close the Soap Shop on Wells quay for the month of November. I am really sorry about this, but we aren't essential so we have no choice. If you want to buy soap, please order online by post or consider using our Click and Collect service as explained below. You can collect your orders from the soap factory at 2d Maryland Wells NR23 1LY but please take note of the timings of when your order will be ready.
Our Click and Collect service has been working well over the summer. Now that we are back in lockdown, you are more than welcome to use the service and collect your order from the soap factory at 2d Maryland, Wells NR23 1LY instead of from the Soap Shop, which will be closed throughout November.
Place your order on our website as usual, then make sure you click the 'Click and Collect' box on the payment screens. Your order will be ready to collect from the soap factory three working days from the day you ordered, Monday to Friday between 10am and 12 midday. No weekend collections - sorry.
