At Adullam’s Cave, you’re guaranteed to find something unique – from small, delicate ornaments, to large, bespoke pieces of furniture. The antique shop and secondhand emporium is proud to be in its 20th year of business, and is looking forward to celebrating once social distancing measures have eased.
Owner Colin Flack says: “Adullam’s Cave started off on a temporary premise as a passion project and grew from a hobby into a business. Now, 20 years on, we’re still a family-run company, selling a range of beautiful antiques.”
Inside the shop, you’ll find four large rooms filled all kinds of homeware, fashion and craft pieces, including lamps, tables, chairs, garden tools, haberdashery and vintage clothing.
Colin says: “Since we first opened, trends have changedquite considerably, so we understand the importance of keeping up with what our customers expect.”

Adullam’s Cave has built an enviable reputation for selling numerous quaint and the quirky products, enticing customers from all over the country to visit the store. “In fact, customers have often said our shop is like a Tardis, as it just keeps on going – there’s always more to see!
“We’re located just out of town so we have to work extra harder to encourage customers to visit us. We have a large car park though, which makes it easy for people to call in, and it’s very handy for customers who are buying large items from us,” says Colin.
