An impressive example of the expansion of retail and hospitality into the ‘burbs, The Tannery is of such quality that the trek to Woolston should be no deterrent. The Tannery plays host to an ever growing, yet carefully curated selection of stylish shops and dining options. All bases are covered – there’s everything from fashion to homewares to design to an old-fashioned book, stationery and post shop. There are flowers and hairdressers, a beautician and a delightful deli and specialty food store with an off licence too. Cafés, bars and a restaurant complete the package.
