About Us
The original shop opened in Skipton, North Yorkshire in October 2017.
After attending dozens of craft fairs and shows over several years, we had seen a vast array of remarkable Crafters & Artisans, who had to pack away their beautiful crafts at the end of the day.
So the idea of Out of the Ordinary was created ; a place for these makers to showcase their bespoke handmade crafts 7 days a week.
We began with just 25 artisans and have steadily grown over the years to more than 50.
We are passionate about Out of the Ordinary and work alongside our artisans to create a cooperative feel. We genuinely couldn't do it without them!
We have an amazing team and are so proud to have a shop that is filled with anything but ordinary gifts.
The shop relocated to Swadford Street in November 2021 after being bought by a member of the existing team, Nicola.
It is going from strength to strength in it's more prominent position on Skipton's high street. We have just won Best Craft & Gift Shop category in The English Independent Retail Awards 2024!
So if you are ever in Skipton, North Yorkshire please come and say hello, but in the mean time please keep watching our page to see the new and exciting products our talented crafters have to offer….
