The Emporium Somerset

The Award-Winning Emporium, a graceful Victorian building that was once a chapel, is now a bright and beautiful retail environment housing a collection of individual traders selling hand-crafted and Fair Trade products. Local painters are invited to exhibit their work in the gallery space that is an integral part of the market hall. Cato Cooper, renowned for her painted furniture and home accessories, has a studio and workshop at the front of the Emporium. Wellington, a charming market town at the foot of the Blackdown Hills is just a five-minute drive from J26 on the M5 motorway.
