Whew! This summer is a scorcher isn’t it? At VHL we are carrying on regardless and are pleased that, with its position on the shadier side of the market place and the thick walls of the old bank building. the VHL Shop and Museum remain a haven of cool during the hot weather.

Please do drop in soon to find relief from the heat and browse our local made arts and crafts. Whether you are shopping for yourself or looking for that perfect gift for a friend or loved one there is a vast array of things to choose from. New stock is added all the time, here are a few things to look out for:
