Your local Tisbury wine and spirits merchant, founded by two friends – Tim Gardner and Nick Beedle – in 2021. With shelves stacked with over 100 wines, from crisp, chilled whites to bold, fruit-forward reds, there's a bottle for every taste and every occasion. Or plan ahead and book a wine tasting, complete with charcuterie and cheese pairings. 

A recent addition to Tisbury's high street, this Narnia-esque bookshop was founded by journalist Chloe Fox. Step inside to discover shelves brimming with the latest hardbacks, bestselling fiction and a thoughtfully curated 'Shelf Help' table. Strike up a conversation while you're browsing for seasonal reading recommendations, hidden gems and a first look at the events calendar. The intimate in-conversation evenings with authors are well worth bookmarking.

Tucked away in the courtyard of a converted 19th-century farm building is the UK's oldest marbling studio, creating beautifully hand-marbled papers and crafts since 1972. Browse a collection of one-of-a-kind picture frames, lampshades, and decorative notebooks – and ask about the personalised monagramming service to make them an extra-special keepsake.  

A masterclass in how to do a pub with rooms: the perfect mix of locals with a Labrador at foot at the bar, and weekenders who’ve escaped for a romantic weekend. Ivy-clad and on the edge of rolling parkland, it has itsown Beckford Phoenix on tap and a menu with pints of prawns and the smartest ploughman’s (Westcombe cheddar and Wiltshire ham). Crash in a bedroom upstairs, one of its lodges nearby on the estate or in the 18th-century Great Arch.
