We have recently redecorated the interior of the house and a whole host of new cloth, collections and curios have moved in. Since the first open house, two years ago, we have opened our HOUSE shop of ready-made home textiles. The Grove served as the original inspiration for all our HOUSE pieces so you’ll find interior ideas stuffed comfortably into every cosy corner of the house this Christmas. Come and have a nose and get some interior inspiration for your own winter nest!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe house will be fully decorated for Christmas and both shops will be open. Freely explore the whole house and enjoy some festive treats with us in the kitchen. Our team will be on hand in both the house and the shop to answer questions and chat.

We built all the schemes around the Merchant \u0026amp; Mills fabric collections to better cocoon our sewing school students in a world of textiles. The renovation gave life to a series of sewing patterns and fabrics and in time, these formed the core of our collection at HOUSE: beautiful, ready-made home textiles, designed in house by Merchant \u0026amp; Mills and handmade by the skilled artisans with whom we have built strong relationships over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Merchant \u0026 Mills","offers":[{"title":"10am - 12.30pm","offer_id":56703059460427,"sku":"CLASS-CHRISTMASGROVE","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"12.30 - 3pm","offer_id":56703059525963,"sku":"CLASS-CHRISTMASGROVE","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 - 5pm","offer_id":56703059657035,"sku":"CLASS-CHRISTMASGROVE","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/3588\/5131\/files\/R3RF0738.jpg?v=1794413474"},{"product_id":"fairer-friday-raffle","title":"Fairer Friday Raffle","description":"\u003cp\u003eFairer Friday is our answer to Black Friday.
