Tara Antiques

This is a genuine antiques shop where you can comfortably spend a couple of hours working your way through the stock. The selection is genuinely diverse—you'll find well-made furniture, decorative ceramics, smaller collectables, and plenty of unexpected finds scattered throughout the shop. There's a real pleasure in the hunt here, examining individual pieces and thinking about their journey and previous owners.

The shop's town-centre location means you can easily combine your visit with exploring Stow's independent shops and galleries, or grabbing a coffee at one of the cafes nearby. Stow makes a practical base if you want to venture further into the region. Broadway is within easy reach, and so are Moreton-in-Marsh and Bourton-on-the-Water, all worthwhile destinations in themselves. Whether you're searching for something particular or simply want to take home a piece with character, the chances are good you'll find something that appeals. Every item here connects you directly to the area's history, making it a genuine way to hold onto a piece of the Cotswolds.
