When you walk into Sweet Shop Sweeties you'd be forgiven for thinking you'd stumbled into some sort of exotic land. The enchanting, brightly lit goodies store, based in Kingsway, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, is tucked away down a jitty on the street, but once you find it you won't want to leave.
Full of balloons and more than 400 sweets, the store accommodates for birthday parties, weddings and a range of other events. Owner Natalie Robinson, who opened the shop in January, has drawn inspiration from sweet shops she has visited around the world, including Dubai, Portugal and Spain.
She says that she wants people visiting the store to "feel like a little kid." With an incredible range of choices on offer, the only problem you're going to face if you visit Sweet Shop Sweeties is what to buy, with vegetarian and halal options also available to choose from.
