Holyrood Street has a stylish new shop – and it’s all in aid of Gift to Nature. Island countryside conservation charity the Island 2000 Trust has opened its first shop to get the countryside message to the high street.
Opening hours
- 10am-4.30pm Tuesday to Friday
- 9.30am-4.30pm Saturday
- Closed Sun-Mon
The Gift to Nature shop is selling both new and preloved products (see further down for a list), all focussed on the outdoor, garden and countryside theme.
Gift to Nature cares for over 30 sites Island wide. We are on a mission to raise the funds to ensure the future of these vital public places. From Brading Down to Golden Hill Fort, the work they do every day, is totally reliant on funds raised by the public and on Friday 26th May 2017 they opened their first high street shop in Newport.
