Northampton is home to a variety of independent businesses that deserve to be championed.
At the heart of the town’s Cultural Quarter lies St Giles’ Street, a thriving hub for local and independent businesses.
Spanning from a bakery, cafes and a coffeehouse, to a florist, clothing shops and a mouth-watering cheese deli, there truly is something for everyone.
During the past week alone, the co-owner of Vintage Guru spoke out about just how much is on offer in the town centre and St Giles’ Street had a long-standing business of 18 years relocate there.
Here are 15 independent businesses to check out the next time you visit St Giles’ Street…
13. Mooch
Mooch has four gift shops across Northampton, and one of them is aptly located in St Giles’ Street. Whether you are looking for a gift for a loved one or to simply treat yourself, you will be spoilt for choice when visiting Mooch. Photo: Mooch
