CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
HIDDEN TREASURE Rose Crescent
A quaint little lane winding between Trinity and Market Street, the picturesque Rose Crescent offers several small retail establishments that are worth a visit. The street itself has an undeniably atmospheric feel, as you wander under festoons of Christmas lights and streetlamps that transport you back in time. Complementing this otherworldly vibe, here you will find the Department of Magical Gifts for all things Harry Potter. Discover a world of wonderful aromas at home fragrance store, Freckleface, and indulge in luxury beauty at well-known favourites such as Molton Brown, L’Occitane and Neal’s Yard. For quality men’s footwear, try family- run establishment Joseph Cheaney & Sons, or North Shoes, and stop by the iconic Le Creuset store for some statement kitchenware.
