Our STORY

The Department of Hope, Joy & Wonder opened it's doors in Spring 2021.

A beautifully curated shop, with an ever changing selection of design led homeware, gifts & cards.

Catherine's aim was to create an inspiring space where you can browse and catch up with friends over a coffee.

A place where people can reconnect or just come in & have a good laugh at our selection of thoroughly rude & sweary cards.

2022 will see the start of creative workshops & talks in the shed.

The Dept. is home to The Secret Coffee Shed, where fresh coffee and cake is served in our beautiful courtyard and shed.

We are delighted to support Gloucestershire businesses. Our coffee is roasted locally by Rave who are based in Cirencester.

And the most delicious cakes are made for us by two talented Cheltenham based bakers

Creme De La Em & S Bakes.

Takeaway also available.
