Did you know we have recently been names the Best Gift Shop in Somerset!
Received from Englands Business Awards in 2024 Kate says, "This is the first time I have run a shop, so it's especially lovely to have won an award for it."
Having built the shop and neighbouring Tea Shop, 'Dunk' next door from scratch, Kate and her husband Neil have restored the building to its former glory, and it's truly foudn its community at the top of Catherine Street in the Badcox area of Frome.
Originally begining as a 'pop up' during lockdown, Hung Drawn Quoted has steadily grown it's customer base to become a busy little shop in the heart of town.
The core offering of the gift shop is grettings cards, satirical gifts and tea towels as well a as full size prints of Kate's original art work.
Regulars tend to be middle-aged men who are delighted to to have a funny card to send to their mates abut something in the news. As we all know, there is never a dull moment in our everyday politics, so Kate has a never ending stream of inspiration to work from!
Out the back of the shop is a fab gallery where you can see all of Kate's original works of art as well as the vintage tea room offers a nostalgic trip down memory lane with biscuits from your childhood to accompany your Yorkshire cuppa.
Quoted as "the best shop theyve ever seen", and "the coolest shop they've ever been in" and "a bit of light relief from this crazy world we all live in", Hung Drawn Quoted certainly is a shop to search out when you're next visiting this bustling Somerset Town.
