We Love - Fireworks and Sparklers

We do love a few fireworks and sparklers at Allium B HQ, 
so we just wanted to wish you all a fun and dry bonfire night.




If you happen to be in Sussex we recommend Lewes for the most 
amazing parade tonight, but be warned it gets very busy.

The next place to head to would be towards the river and over the bridge, you will be met by cobbled streets, boutique cafes and antique stores galore.

We Love: Lewes part 1

To continue our We Love series, we are hopping over to the beautiful town of Lewes. Situated a short drive from Brighton's town centre, in the middle of the Sussex Downs.

Shopping in Lewes is a pleasure. Start at the castle and work your way down towards the river

There are many beautiful book stores along the High Street including, Bow Windows. They stock old and fine books with all manner of titles from early leather bound volumes to modern first editions. You have to pop in for a browse.

Situated a few doors down is the gorgeous Paul Clark. There are 2 shops - one selling menswear (great for present shopping) and the other selling beautiful clothes, bags, accessories and not forgetting Allium B's current collection.

Head across the road to King Framers to browse their amazing art collection, from new artists and contemporary print makers.

Having covered, art, clothes and books it's time to follow the road down to Flint. With homewares sourced from around the world and accessories to die for, we are sure you won't leave empty handed.

Carry on walking down the high street to the river, where we will pick up our tour later in the week...
