Take time to explore Taurus Crafts – a characterful visitor centre set in a 17th century courtyard, home to two cafes, a zero-waste shop and Gift Store, along with independent artisan businesses. Enjoy a delicious treat made on site by the Severn Bakery, browse for ethical, handmade products and arts and crafts and bring your containers to get refills on your favourite household products. We regularly host creative events across the site, including creative markets and kids workshops.
Check out Events page for more information to see what’s going on!
We are based in Lydney, the gateway to the Forest of Dean, only 26 miles away from Bristol and 29 miles away from Cheltenham.
