Pop-up: Shop local for fragrance, fashion and more at Cambridge’s Neptune store

Cambridge’s Neptune store is hosting a three-day styling and shopping event – featuring some of our favourite independent brands. . .

Gathering some of our best-loved local brands under one roof - think fragrance from To The Fairest, fashion from Ozzie & Clementine, leather goods from Pedal & Brass and plants from Small & Green - Cambridge’s Neptune store is hosting a three-day Trend & Shopping Event this month.

Running from Thursday, March 20 to Saturday, March 22, 9am to 5pm daily, it will also feature jewellery and accessories by Ketteley Kit, homeware and food gifts by Slow Squirrel and coffee and sweet treats by Prospect Coffee. On opening day, The Style Story’s Nerys Copping - whose regular Velvet column can be found on page 51 - is also holding an evening of styling and shopping, 7pm to 10pm.

Taking place just in time for Mother’s Day, the Trend & Shopping Event is, say organisers, a chance to find the perfect present; Pedal & Brass is even offering personalisation on its bags and accessories, plus the chance to ‘make your own’ keyring.

Entry to the daytime shopping event is free. Tickets to the styling evening are £20 and can be booked via pedalandbrass.co.uk
