Experience the Heart of the Shires Shopping Village

When did a day out shopping become all about multi-storey car parks, queuing and pushing? The Heart of the Shires Shopping Village is a pleasurable, friendly shopping experience that you will enjoy so much; you’ll want to keep coming back for more.

Conveniently situated just off the A5, 2 miles north of Weedon, The Heart of the Shires offers you a wide selection of individual shops of character and convenience that you won’t find on the average high street. From an award winning cook shop, to unusual gift ideas, the Heart of the Shires Shopping Village is like no other shopping experience in the area.

Converted from a selection of Victorian stables and farm buildings, over 20 independent shops and a restaurant are located around a traditional band-stand and courtyard. Originally build in the 1850’s the farming units and stables were converted in the 1990s by the farmer who owned the site. Since then a great deal of development work has been carried out to the site and expansion and refurbishment continues to this day by the new owners. The aim with any of the improvement to the area is to keep the unique charm and character whilst improving access and widening choice.

There is free parking, a wishing well, a picnic area and of course a warm, friendly welcome to greet you. The Heart of the Shires takes you back to a time of friendly shop owners and great service. Where quality is assured and your custom is always welcome..
