Just steps away from Sworders Head Office and Auction Rooms, nestled within the same picturesque grounds, lies Folies Gift Shop and Café - a charming destination that perfectly complements a day of art appreciation and antique discovery.

The café at Folies provides a welcoming spot to relax and enjoy freshly brewed coffee while discussing art and antiques and contemplating prospective sales and purchases. Visitors can enjoy a range of savoury treats, indulge in delicious cakes and pastries, and take a moment to discuss their Sworders finds.

Operating independently from Sworders, it shares the same dedication to art and quality. This delightful venue offers a carefully curated selection of plants, gifts, homewares, and art-related merchandise, making it an ideal stop for those looking to find a special souvenir or a thoughtful gift. Whether you're drawn to unique ceramics, bespoke jewellery, or beautifully crafted home decor, Folies has something to captivate every visitor.

Beyond its retail and culinary offerings, Folies is also a hub for creative engagement. The café hosts a variety of art classes, including watercolour painting and clay workshops, inviting visitors to explore their artistic talents. These classes offer a wonderful opportunity to connect with likeminded people, learn new skills, and create personal masterpieces.

Be sure to set aside time to stop by on your next visit to Sworders!
