ABOUT THE SHOP
Run by the village, for the village.
Thorncombe Village Shop is fully community-owned and run by an amazing group of volunteers. Marie, our Shop Manager, works with the Committee to keep the wheels turning and the shelves full, which is why visitors come back time after time.
From the first coffee of the morning to the last loaf on the shelf, it is neighbours serving neighbours, and we would love you to be part of it.

“The most wonderful village shop, just like they used to be, and SO well stocked, it has everything, beautifully laid out too. The staff and volunteers were so friendly and made me one of the best coffees I’ve had in a very long time, enjoyed outside in the Spring sunshine. I’ll recommend, and will be back! Thank you for a lovely experience.”
