Emporium

This gift shop has a genuine, friendly atmosphere and stocks a carefully curated selection of items with a strong local flavour. You'll find handcrafted pieces, distinctive homeware, cards with character, and jewellery that you won't see everywhere, plus various other treasures that tend to surprise visitors.

Charlton Kings itself is a pleasant residential area on Cheltenham's eastern edge, so it works well as a stopping point if you're heading into or out of the larger town. The location makes sense if you've spent time exploring Cheltenham's elegant architecture, independent shops, and restaurants, or after a walk through the surrounding Cotswold hills. Coming into Emporium gives you a chance to pick up something to remember your visit by, whether it's for yourself or as a gift. Cheltenham is just a short drive or bus ride away, so you can easily combine a visit here with time in the town itself, where there's plenty more to discover.
