Shopping in the Lake District
Peter Rabbit and Friends™ and The Veg Patch gift shops
Gifts inspired by our love of the Lakes
Our Peter Rabbit and Friends™ gift shops celebrate the legacy of one of the Lake District's best-loved residents - children's writer, Beatrix Potter. The shops are where you can purchase a range of gifts associated with the writer's timeless collection of stories, and can be found in the Lakeland towns of Bowness-on-Windermere, Keswick, Grasmere, and Hawkshead.
The Veg Patch is our gift and toy store that sells everything from soft toys and craft kits to children's clothing. We stock leading brands such as Sophie Allport, eeBoo, and Tender Leaf Toys, and all our gifts, games, and toys are inspired by our love of the great outdoors.
