This is serious shopping territory. A stroll along Montpellier Walk and then along the flower-bedecked Promenade brings you to high-end specialty stores and boutiques. A bubble-blowing Wishing Fish Clock, designed by Kit Williams, dominates the Regent Arcade, a modern shopping area behind the Promenade. A farmers' market enlivens the Promenade on the second and last Friday of the month.
Founded in 1933, the Gloucestershire Guild of Craftsmen grew out of the Cotswolds' vibrant Arts and Crafts Movement, and its shop in Montpellier sells work by dozens of local artisans, including jewelers, ceramicists, textiles artists, furniture makers, and glass blowers. It's the best place to support the applied arts and source beautiful gifts and souvenirs.
