Toffee Pop!
June 10, 2013
Toffee Factory is set to launch Toffee Pop! this month and you’re all invited. As Ouseburn venues, workshops and studios entice you down to the Valley to join in Creative Ouseburn weekend in June; the Toffees have invited local design duo Perch & Place to join forces with them to launch this pop up shop. Perch & Place will not only be selling their unique seating, quirky home ware and gorgeous cards they’ll also be playing host to a number of their favourite creatives and businesses.
Lisa Tolan, Creative Space Management said
‘We’re keen to support local designer makers at Toffee Factory so this partnership with Perch & Place is ideal – their work compliments us and our clients so well. We expect there to be a great buzz around Ouseburn with so many venues opening their doors – there’ll certainly be something for everyone. ’
Toffee Pop! will be open 11am – 3pm on Sunday 23rd June and, if this design & lifestyle collective isn’t enough to lure you down, it will be hard to resist the street food on offer. Tantalising your taste buds will be a selection of the finest local foodies including Electric East and Settle Down Café.
Amanda Stewart, Perch & Place said
“We’re really excited about this event, its important to us that our pop up shops are housed in venues that we love, we like to show case our products in a relaxed and inviting space and Toffee Factory fits the bill perfectly. To make the most of this impressive space and to give our customers added value we’ve handpicked other local creatives and businesses to pop up alongside us. We look forward to working with them and being part of the first Toffee Pop ”.
So, while you’re enjoying the Creative Ouseburn weekend, call in for that tasty treat and see if Perch & Place and their pals can tempt you!
'We love working with the Toffee Factory and their excellent team. The space is brilliantly designed by Xsite Architecture to nurture creativity and features furniture and prints by a number of Northern designers we work with on the Northern Design Festival. We have done pop up design events at the Toffee Factory during Open Studios and are using the space for our partner events with the Crafts Council.'
