We will be opening a pop-up shop in Stratford-upon-Avon town centre during the town's special Shakespeare’s birthday celebrations this weekend - April 26 & 27 April, 2025.

 

Founder and creator-in-chief Naomi Hands-Smith will be at the LUSH cosmetics store on High Street with the River Swan of Avon collection of hand illustrated greeting cards and wall art inspired by Stratford-upon-Avon’s much-loved swans.

 

This is our latest high street collaboration and it's part of LUSH Stratford-upon-Avon’s support for independent businesses run by local makers this summer.

​

The River Swan of Avon product range and profile continue to grow - thanks to the pop-up shop in LUSH and recent  collaborations with national restaurant chain ASK Italian and the Royal Shakespeare Company.

 

Naomi said: “Our swans are such an iconic part of Stratford – known and loved far beyond our little town. I find them just as inspiring today as Shakespeare did over 400 years ago.

 

"It’s such a joy to be working with LUSH. As an independent business themselves, they’re championing local makers like me and giving us a chance to shine on the high street.

 

“This is a special weekend for Stratford and I’m so excited to offer something unique for locals and visitors to take home.”
