Rickety Ramshackle past, present...Future?

Rickety Ramshackle 1, Bradgate, Leicestershire

Rickety Ramshackle began as a small business in Bradgate Park, Leicestershire, deep in the heart of Charnwood Forest.  We opened our small, open fronted, wooden hut one snowy Good Friday, selling a range of craft items and gifts, alongside Tracey's artwork.

The success of that little hut spurned us on to open our first retail store, in the Welsh coastal town of Barmouth, in Snowdonia.

After three years we moved to Cornwall to persue new ventures for ourselves, and our children.

However, in 2002 we followed our hearts and returned to Wales, where we opened our third Rickety Ramshackle, coincidentally in the exact same building as that second incarnation.  I guess it was fate!

That store was incredibly popular and very successful.  However, we closed in 2007 to pursue our artistic careers - Go take a look:

But that's not the end of the story.  Because there's a longing.


Rickety Ramshackle was enjoyed and loved by so many people, can we REALLY let it disappear forever?
