Well who'd have thought it, we've been in The Piece Hall for 8 years today!! (We nearly forgot 🙈) Al's still "the keymaster" who could get a job on with the amount of keys he carries around his neck! Just a few shout outs, massive thank you to our dear friends Michaela Davenport & Debs Palmer without who we wouldn't be here 😉 To our wonderful kids Ethan & Eva who have spent nearly every weekend in the shop since they were babies (sorry Ethan & Eva ❤️). To our supporters, cabinet holders, fellow glorious tenants, friends and family. Special thank yous will always go to our (mostly 😉🙈😜) wonderful customers, both old & new & to the Piece Hall Trust for letting us in 🤣 It's tough for retail & hospitality at the minute so please support as much as you can! It means the World, especially as it pays for our wine on a weekend 😜🍷❤️ See you all soon!

We have no words ❤️ to Lucy & her family. This particular cancer hits very close to home 😔

Hi everyone,

After a lot of thought, I need to share some very difficult news. News which I never wanted to share.

Lucy’s Little Bake House will be closing its doors at the end of April. This is because I’ve recently been diagnosed with stage 4 bowel c-ancer 💔

I need to step away from the business and focus all of my time and energy on treatment and being with my beautiful family.

Our last day will be Thursday 30th April. Before then we are open as usual so please come and see us. I would love to see you!

Running this business and serving our Gorgeous customers for the past 7 years has meant the world to me. Your support, kindness, and loyalty over the years have helped make Lucy’s Little Bake House so special, and I will always be deeply grateful for every order, every visit, and every kind word.

Thank you for supporting my small business and for being part of this incredible journey.

With so much love and gratitude,

Lucy 🧡 ###

P.S. Please please share this post so I can reach as many customers as possible 🧡
