So, the Christmas tree is down, the egg nog has been put away for another year, the New Year is in full swing - back to work, back to school, and so we are back in 'the groove'.
At the beginning of 2019 we welcomed a new business to Old Bolsover Yard - Cup & Saucer is a small independent business owned & run by Gail Hannan which is based in the heart of Derbyshire; just a stones throw away from the beautiful Peak District which influences many of their products.
On their website - www.cupandsauceronline.co.uk – Gail tells us that - "Cup & Saucer are passionate about good-quality tea, and providing our customers with a variety of unique flavours".
In joining the Old Bolsover Yard community, Gail is a good example of what we were hoping to achieve as part of the Yard – providing small business premises for craft businesses who are looking to expand to the next stage in their development.
In 2018 Gail & Cup & Saucer were the winners of the Chesterfield Food & Drink Awards - Food Producer Year 2018.
Commenting on her success, Gail said - “It feels great to win the Food Producer of the Year award, but totally unexpected. It was a surprise to get through to the tasting session but, to win it, is just amazing. When I realised that people enjoy our teas, that really motivated me to just keep working hard to provide great products.”
So, next time you are in Castle Street, why not pop in & see if Gail is open & find out what your favourite ‘tea tipple’ is.

Elsewhere in OBY, we are continuing with our planning for 2019, with the Courtyard Programme starting in April, the continuation of the refurbishment of the site to give it that 'final sparkle', and a marketing & PR programme to raise the profile of Old Bolsover Yard in time for the main tourist season.
The Gallery @ Old Bolsover Yard continues to attract more visitors & stock is being constantly changed, so that every time you visit, you will see something new that will send you rushing for your purse or wallet. And don't forget - we are able to take card payments
Other than all of that, it is quite quiet actually! But keep a watch out on our Facebook page & the weekly blog post to keep right up to date.
