The owners of a gallery and shop on the Sherwood high street have announced the closure of their business in a move they described as feeling like 'a bereavement'. A Room Full of Butterflies, which has been running for 10 years, will close its doors early in the New Year when the lease on the building comes to an end.
The gallery and shop, run by Jo Wood and Andy Welch, is located near Wilko and Coop, with the business offering unusual art, creative cards, glass art and gifts as well as a bespoke framing service.
In a statement online, the team behind the gallery said that it had been a difficult trading time amid the Covid pandemic restrictions but that it was ultimately the cost of living crisis and changes in consumer confidence that had been the final straw. However, the art and print business will remain online despite the physical store closure.
