Our Retail Shop

The Oldest Trug Shop in the World!  Established 1829.

 

We have plenty of Trugs in our Retail Shop!

 

Renovations to our retail shop will be carried out in January/February but we will be open every day as normal (except Sundays).

 

Here you will find a good selection of Trugs that you will not find elsewhere.  We offer our Royal Sussex Traditional Trugs, still made in the old traditional way, using Sweet Chestnut and Cricket Bat Willow woods, as well as our South Down Contemporary Trugs that we hand craft using the finest Finnish and other European Birch plys. 

 

We know there are copies of our product available from other makers but there is only one place to obtain the genuine, originals and that is at the Thomas Smith Trug Shop!  Each Trug is individually signed by the Craftsman who makes it and each has a unique reference number on the bottom as well.

 


Opening Times:

 

Our retail shop is open Monday to Saturday from 9am to 4.30pm in the winter and 9am – 5pm during the spring, summer and autumn.  We close Sundays and Bank Holidays.  We may close some weekends when we are attending shows but will always give advance warning on our website and on our telephone answering machine if we are not in the workshop.  There is plenty of parking in our car park at the back of the workshop or you are welcome to park on the forecourt.  Entrance can be made through the workshop or via the front door.
