We have moved! On Sunday 14 May around two dozen volunteers came together to pack, stack, lift, carry and lug all the stock and shelving to a temporary ‘pop-up Stores’ over the road. While the refurbishment takes over the shop floor, Aggie and Giuseppe at The Fox have kindly agreed to host Hawkesbury Stores in a room at the back of the restaurant. We’ll be open […]
Today was the first day of Phase 1 of Hawkesbury Stores’ exciting refurbishment. The work will last for about two months, and it seems a good time to publish the plans in case you couldn’t attend the open morning earlier this month. You’ll remember that in December we heard that we’d been successful in applying for two grants that […]
The votes have been counted and verified and this afternoon, in a packed assembly at Hawkesbury Upton Primary School, the winning young designer for the Hawkesbury Stores Hare was announced! We received 18 fabulous entries to our design challenge, which was launched to find a great design for the 18″ hare statue due to sit in the […]
Hawkesbury Stores will be taking part in the 2017 Cotswold Hare Trail, by displaying an 18inch/46cm tall ‘leveret’ (baby hare) statue in the shop window from 25 March. But our leveret is completely white at the moment, so we’re inviting local children to show us how they’d like him/her to be decorated. Budding artists can let their […]
This afternoon we held a festive get-together to say thank you to our wonderful volunteers. We’ve calculated that around 100 local people have given their time, energy and skills freely to get Hawkesbury Stores up and running (and to keep it there!). It’s been an amazing community effort, and one that we celebrated with mulled […]
We’re back with the second instalment of our price comparison baskets! In September we reported the comparison of Hawkesbury Stores and supermarket prices for a big basket of essential groceries. Now, we reveal our prices for a basket of our higher-end groceries – those delicious luxuries you might treat yourself to at the weekend, or […]
Most people expect their local village shop to be a tad pricey. It’s not surprising – small independent stores don’t have the buying power to drive hard bargains with suppliers, and they can’t afford to run loss-leaders. Since Hawkesbury Stores opened as a community-owned business in June, we’ve been trying hard to suit the range […]
Excitement is mounting for Hawkesbury Horticultural Show this weekend! The numerous shiny trophies are now on display in the Stores, and the ‘big red box’ of entries was pretty full by Wednesday. Show Day and the bank holiday bring with them altered – and reduced – opening hours on Saturday and Monday, but there’s also […]
There are no upcoming events at this time.
