Ever been to ALL OVER THE SHOP?👗🛍️

This Metquarter store is championing over 60 independent brands! 👏

Bethan Flanagan’s store in Liverpool is All Over The Shop … and that’s just the way she wants it because it’s filled with 62 independent brands, handpicked because ‘they make the things we actually love’.

All Over The Shop opened in Metquarter in January last year and since then it’s become a fan-favourite with visitors and city centre shoppers.

You can find everything from hand-crocheted fashion items and carefully crafted jewellery to vintage wear, gorgeous gifts – and it’s the only in-store stockist of Get Boosted Boob Tape in the area!

Creative Bethan, 33, says:

“There’s a little bit of everything. The idea is that, if you come in, it doesn’t matter what your style is or what you’re into, you’ll find something that’s just for you.

“It’s a warm and friendly space that means you can have a walk round, have a potter, and stay a little longer … it’s like a little day out.”

Bethan launched two pop-ups at Metquarter in the run up to Christmas 2024 – and they were so successful, it led to the store that she’s so proud of now.

“It’s a fashion and accessory concept store which could dress you from head to toe,” 

“I want it to be that one-stop shop.

“We’ve got statement designs and upcycled treasures, all under one roof in the old MAC store.

“You’ll find something different and you’ll get inspired; and you can come in and spend your pocket money or really treat yourself to something special.” 🤩

Have you heard about the ‘VATs The Problem’ campaign? 🍽️🍷

Backed by well-known chef Tom Kerridge and supported by industry body UKHospitality, the campaign is calling on the Government to cut VAT for hospitality businesses from 20% to 10%.

The UK’s 20% rate of VAT is one of the highest rates for hospitality in Europe. It’s the second highest, in fact. Only Denmark is higher.

A lower rate of VAT would reduce the cost pressures facing the sector, and would allow more venues to stay open, rather than have to close their doors for good.

We caught up with Paul Askew of Barnacle & The Art School to hear more. 👀
