New arts and crafts café to open at Merry Hill

Creative Coffee Hub is set to provide a range of food and drink options, home décor products, as well as a series of arts and craft workshops for all ages to enjoy.

Located on the upper mall near Next, the hub will be welcoming a number of local art experts to host craft activities over the coming months.

The coffee shop will offer fresh salads and sandwiches, hot toasties, and soups, as well as sweet treats in the form of waffles and cakes, with a number of vegan options available.

Tamara Cameron, owner of Creative Coffee Hub said: “Merry Hill is the perfect place for us to open up our newest coffee shop. The centres’ connection with the local community mirrors our passion and focus to create a space for local artists, families and students to work, relax and get crafting.

“We put the local community at the heart of everything we do, and we can’t wait to get to welcome visitors to our shop.

“Over the next few months, we’ll also be encouraging group meet-ups and displaying some of the best artwork from local artists.”

Pottery and craft packs will also be available to purchase, and visitors can partake in a range of family-friendly craft activities, including decorating ceramic flamingos and lighthouses in-store to take home.

Jonathan Poole, centre manager at Merry Hill said: “The Creative Coffee Hub is an exciting addition to our food and beverage offering at Merry Hill, as it provides a unique twist on the coffee shop experience with a sense of community at its heart.

“With a focus on craft and decoration, it gives our visitors a chance to try their hand at something creative and will no doubt be a success with families looking to keep their little ones entertained this summer.

Creative Coffee Hub becomes the 11th new retailer to join the Merry Hill this year.
