The charming pottery shop near Manchester selling absolute bargains

I LOVE it in here.

You know you’re growing up when you’re more interested in spending your money on plates than partying – and we’ve found just the spot for you.

There’s a charming little pottery shop not far from Manchester that sells some sought-after crockery and homeware at bargain prices.

On the shelves at Jules you’ll find a mixture of end-of-line and run-of-the-kiln pottery (this is where designers make more than needed to account for any mistakes or breaks).

Jules has been trading for more than 30 years in Hebden Bridge, selling everything from cookware and tableware to home decor.

If it’s made of clay, you’ll find it here, and at drastically lower prices than you’d pay in most shops.

They promise to offer ‘unbelievable prices’ on plates, bowls, jugs, casserole dishes and loads more.

And you’ll come across some names you might know, like bowls from Oliver Bonas and vases from Anthropologie, all for just a few pounds apiece.

The shops spans across two floors with crockery stacked up in wobbly piles everywhere you look.

This is not a place for toddlers, backpacks or butter fingers.

It’s tucked right in the heart of the beautiful Hebden Bridge, so you can plan a whole day trip around your shopping trip.

This lovely market town is known for its artistic community, vibrant culture, and stunning natural scenery, all centred around the pretty cobbled-street centre.

Having a mooch round the local market, browsing the shops and of course strolling down the tranquil riverside, this is what an ideal Saturday looks like.

When it’s time for a pint you won’t need to look hard to find a quaint pub garden to plonk yourself into, plenty more spots to grab something to eat and stunning natural wine bars for a final tipple.

We could keep talking about what a gem this Yorkshire market town is forever, just over half an hour in-between Leeds and Manchester it’s worth blocking off a Saturday to have a mooch.

And make sure you pop in to Jules to buy some pottery while you’re at it.
