The move marks an exciting new chapter for the independent business after several years on Town Street, with Steven saying: “This is the best thing I have ever done.”

He said: “I am so excited to have relocated to Sunny Bank Mills, the beating heart of the Farsley community. The historic mill is now a fabulous retail destination, as well as being home to so many successful young businesses and a brilliant art gallery and music venue. It’s so busy all the time.”
