We now stock handmade vegan wax candles, wax burners, wax melts and soon we will be stocking natural reed diffusers. You can have a beautiful smelling home in this cosy season without having to leave the village. We all know if we go to Beckworths for melts and candles we pick up more than we anticipated 😃

Could you spare just two hours a week?

Skittles village shop is looking for volunteers to join our friendly and welcoming team.

It’s a lovely opportunity to meet people, enjoy being part of a team and help make a difference locally. Just two hours a week would be a huge help, and all profits from the shop go straight back into supporting our community.

Interested? Please send us a message or pop into the shop for a chat. We’d love to hear from you.

Please share and help us spread the word.
