MerseyMade is a unique creative hub in West Kirby which aims to highlight the region’s talent and support its flourishing art scene.

Vicky Gawith, director and founder of MerseyMade, first launched the main multi-purpose venue in Liverpool to help build and support local communities, celebrate unique talents and bring people together to share their visions. Unfortunately, MerseyMade in Liverpool had to close down after four and a half years of operation but its sister-shop can still be found in West Kirby.

MerseyMade is ‘Shop Local’ in motion, providing a unique retail space where people can come and buy a range of bespoke items, all handmade by local talent. Creatives and artists can showcase and sell their work locally and with as little barriers as possible.

From jewellery to gin, art works, cards and clothing, the shop has every type of gift, for any family member or any occasion. You’ll find original paintings from local artists and makers inspired by the Wirral seascapes, as well as all the classics: candles, jewellery, pottery, photography, prints and much more. For updates on current offerings, check out the MerseyMade social media pages.

MerseyMade continues to make waves, even if on a smaller scale for now, and definitely deserves a visit when you’re crossing the river.
