Good to Know

Bohemia is an independent shop on Market Street in Hexham, selling ethically traded goods from India and Nepal. It's run by Sarah and Will Marshall, who opened it in August 2023 in the premises that had been home to Gaia, the town's old fair trade shop.

Inside it's full of colour: traditional block prints from Jaipur, ethically made clothing, wool hats and scarves, upcycled sari pieces, jewellery, crystals, oils and soft furnishings. The owners' aim is for the money spent in the shop to go back to their suppliers in India.

Why it's on our list: Hexham has built up a strong run of independent shops, and Bohemia filled the gap Gaia left for bright, fairly traded clothes and gifts at sensible prices. It's an easy one to browse on a wander between the Abbey and the Market Place.

A Little Note From Heather & Sand

We haven't quite made it here ourselves yet, but it's on our list!

We're working our way around Northumberland, personally visiting and reviewing as many of the places featured in our Listed section as we can. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

In the meantime, we do our homework. Before adding somewhere to Heather & Sand, we research it, look at what other visitors have to say and check that it has a good reputation. If the feedback isn't encouraging, it generally doesn't make our list.

Of course, a little online research is no substitute for muddy boots, a decent coffee and seeing somewhere for ourselves. So until we've visited, we'll leave the personal review to one side.

A little about us...

Heather & Sand is our little corner of Northumberland — a collection of places, stories, walks and discoveries from a county we love.

Through our Journal, Guide and Listed pages, we hope to help you discover somewhere new, revisit an old favourite or simply enjoy a little Northumberland from wherever you happen to be.
