Gift shop

Located within the historic Visitor Centre courtyard, the Oakwell Shop is a great place to find wonderful 'not on the high street' items. It has a superb range of stock from local artisan suppliers, including many that reflect the history of the hall and the beauty of the country park, as well as essential supplies of snacks, cold drinks and ice cream.

Some of our many highlights include stylish 17th century style ceramics by local potter John Hudson (as displayed in Oakwell Hall) and a range of beautiful wildlife mugs, prints and cards by Holmfirth artist Joanne T Kell. You can also find chic home, kitchen and garden accessories, artists' print cards, stationery and books.

Yorkshire foodies will love our range of locally produced goodies including some very locally made honey from Outback Beez who have hives at Oakwell, Brandy Snaps from Wrights of Brighouse; and delicious hand-made fudge and cinder toffee from Farrah's of Harrogate. There are unusual and rare jams and jellies from Farmhouse Kitchen in Sowerby Bridge and also some of the best old fashioned retro sweets around!

For children there is a huge range of traditional and contemporary toys and games to choose from for both indoor and outdoor play, as well as children's jewellery, books and gemstones.
