Purbeck Artisan Yard

An exciting gem found in the heart of Wareham. We stumbled across it but so glad we did. I managed to get some lovely one off presents for people as well as a cushion for myself. I loved it there and will be back when I’m next in the area.

This really is a hidden gem. If you like one of a kind pieces of art, this is a must place to visit. The pieces are all from local artists and generally one offs. Definitely go upstairs and check it all out!! The birds running along the roof as you browse the shop is nothing short of idyllic. Very friendly people, depending on what you like the look of, it can get a bit pricey. They will take cash or card 👍

A lovely find. Great range of local arts and crafts at reasonable prices. Friendly people.

An eclectic mix of arts, crafts, vintage items, and upcycling. Many pieces are original to the yard. All local based artisans in collective. Always one of the artisans on duty 7 days a week from 10 to 5. They have card as well as cash payments.

Incredibly cold and poor selection of items

Great variety of local arts and crafts by a range of local craftspeople including artwork, house decor and nice smelling things. Good range of pieces ans prices so you can get something relatively cheap like a print, postcard or mug or something more extravagent like an original piece of art. Highly recommend visiting. Parking is 70p for an hour in the nearby Sainsbury's

I was hoping for more dramatic up-cycled pieces. But there are two floors of trinkets, pictures and other (mainly) small gift type stuff. Particularly liked the lump hammer that had been made into a lamp.
