Ginger Fig

Ginger Fig really is the culmination of a childhood dream. Back in the 1960s my father was involved with the retail trade and I was forever playing shop with the props and advertising material he brought home. Later I spent 25 years honing and perfecting my shopping skills all over London, but never imagined that one day I would have my own lovely shop! But it happened - my partner and I moved to Taunton, I met a like-minded friend, and in October 2007 Ginger Fig gift shop opened, offering an exciting mix of contemporary design, British hand-made goods plus fair trade and eco-friendly products.

I wanted to make it the sort of shop my friends and I would love to visit and I'm proud to say we have a huge number of loyal and regular customers. Then in January 2008 Ginger Fig Gallery opened. We run a wide variety of workshops throughout the year, and can also arrange children's craft parties.
