ABOUT THE SHOP


From centuries of making to a vibrant village hub

Often referred to as the Aladdin’s cave, Groves Shop bursts with around 9000 products making it a large playground for any maker who is looking to turn their hands to any size project. Whether you are a keen gardener, bird lover, a professional builder, a DIY enthusiast, a painter or a family looking to do home improvements, we can help!


FROM TOOL’S TO TREASURES

Everything you need for your project!

From sharp sand to Danish pottery, Groves brings together the practical and the unexpected. You'll find building and plumbing supplies, tools and paints, alongside garden compost, bird feeders, and seasonal plants. We also stock thoughtful touches for the home: from candles and cards to gift wrap and one-of-a-kind presents.

Home & Garden

Groves believes in keeping our houses sound and our gardens alive. That is why we not only provide the community with building materials but also stock a large range of gardening tools, seeds, bulbs and composts as well as products for our little feathery friends.

GROVES YARD

Serving the community

The past 30 years has seen Groves’ DIY shop grow organically to now form the central part of our trading business. From mainly working on building- and joinery contracts off site for the past 350 years, we are now committed to focusing on our shop and yard within Milton-under-Wychwood, concentrating on improving and reinvigorating this historic yard, to provide the wider community with a central space in the village to enjoy and be a part of.
