Three Suffolk residents have taken on a former Adnams store in Southwold, in order to create a pop-up antique shop in the town.
Jenny Cook, Karen Lear and Caroline McCarthy have come together to bring a range of quirky wares to Southwold’s Pinkney’s Lane, starting this weekend.
“Karen, Caroline and I had been discussing opening up an eclectic shop in Southwold for some time now, full of antiques, art, flowers and ephemera. Up popped the Adnams old off-licence to rent as a pop-up shop for a period of six months or more - so we jumped on it,” explained Jenny.
Renamed No6 Southwold, the former off-licence will stock a range of vintage and retro wares, household items and artwork.

“My father, who is now 83, said it’s about time the Cooks were back in business in Southwold.”

“We also want to thank Adnams who actually let us off when it came to the legal costs, in order to help out us locals who are starting a business in the community during these tough times,” Jenny added.
No6 Southwold will open Friday August 28 between 9am and 5.30pm
