The original Abraxas Cookshop opened in July 1996 at the beautifully restored and renovated Heart of The Shires Shopping Village. Built in 1867 and in its former days a model working Victorian farm, the shopping village is now home to twenty two retail outlets.
Abraxas Cookshop is situated on the top floor of a 2700 sq ft dutch barn, stocking every item imaginable from a pastry brush to state-of-the art coffee machines, cookware, bakeware, knives, electricals, gadgets, utensils and kitchen work stations.
To compliment Abraxas Cookshop, the top floor of the adjacent building is occupied by Abraxas China & Glass, stocking a comprehensive range of cutlery, glassware, dinnerware, table-top accessories and the full Emma Bridgewater range.
