We’ve been busy in Shelton, lining up rolls, plumping up cushions and measuring curtains and blinds. Now we’re happy to announce that our Pret A Vivre factory outlet is open!

If you’ve not had the pleasure of visiting our head office, and few have, we’re set in a rural idyll of Nottinghamshire. Surrounded by horses, chickens, sheep and the friendly family dog Sammy you’ll be warmly welcomed and leave with a bargain whether you’re looking for some remnants for colourful bunting or enough fabric to finish off that newly decorated room with fresh curtains and blinds.

The outlet is open to visitors Wednesday  Thursday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, but you can always reach us via email at outlet@pretavivre.com or during office hours on 01949 851178.

To launch the new outlet we are participating in The Flintham Show in Scarrington, Notts, this Thursday September 26 open from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. Our stand will show a selection of the fabrics we have to offer with prices starting at just £3 per metre! We look forward to seeing you there.

This year it will be the 99th show and over the years there has been a growing interest in the show’s craft marquee. This huge marquee will be brimming with excellent and innovative stalls ‘selling, making and doing’ all things craft.

Shopping aside, there will be a wide range of more traditional events from horse ploughing to hedging, visiting the livestock area and even an educational tent showing displays of farming through the years. The Horticultural marquee hosts competitions for all ages, from home baked goods to vegetable growing and wine making to flower arranging. So do come and see us and enjoy a day out in field!
