Bamburgh boutique marks first anniversary with in-store celebration and free prosecco
A husband-and-wife are celebrating the first anniversary of their Bamburgh boutique.
On May 16, Stag Rock marks exactly one year since opening its doors. To thank the community and visitors who have supported them through their crucial first 12 months, owners Chris and Fiona are celebrating by offering every customer a complimentary glass of prosecco.
A major key to the shop's first-year success has been its curation of premier heritage clothing – most notably the iconic South Shields brand, Barbour.
Owners described how the British wax jackets and country attire have proven to be a massive hit.
"We’ve had an incredible first year, and the welcome from the Bamburgh community has been absolutely heartwarming," said co-owner Fiona Harker.
“What has been truly fascinating is seeing just how far-reaching the love for classic British style is.
"We’ve become a must-visit stop for tourists from all over the world, especially visitors from America, Germany, and France who come to see the castle and fall in love with the timeless Barbour pieces we stock.
“It’s like they want to take a piece of the authentic North East heritage home with them."
Looking ahead to the future, the couple are optimistic about the upcoming season and remain committed to contributing to Bamburgh’s vibrant village life.
Fiona added: “Tomorrow is all about saying a huge thank you. Whether you’re a local regular who pops in for a chat or a visitor discovering us for the first time, come raise a glass with us. We’re proud to be a part of Bamburgh, and we look forward to many more years here.”
