Urban Folk

3 Grope Lane

Shop

Just off the beaten track situated in the heart of Shrewsbury, Grope Lane houses an unique shop called Urban Folk. One of the unsung treasures, it’s small but perfectly formed. Instantly you are greeted by a colourful crafted sign which unravels the emporium of quirky gifts inside.

It’s most certainly isn’t your ‘bog standard’ high street shop. Showcasing a multitude of unusual gifts for any occasion and sources products from local Artists and Illustrators. The staff are very helpful and friendly, creating an welcoming atmosphere. A hidden gem worthy of a visit.
