The Mugwump, Durham's distinctive boutique, was established in 1966 by two art school graduates with the aim of creating a shop brimming with treasures and unique finds. Since its inception, it has retained much of its original charm, and the philosophy remains largely unchanged: sourcing exclusive clothing, accessories, plus perfect gift ideas and homeware.

Shopping
Despite its compactness, Durham offers a wide range of shopping options amongst the intimate lanes and atmospheric narrow streets, much of which is closed to traffic, making for a pleasant and relaxed experience. Its monthly farmers' market adds additional colour and life on selected days throughout the week, while Prince Bishops Place offers all the high street and designer brands one could wish for. Unique to the city is the Fowler’s Yards, where artists and craftspeople create and sell their specialities such as glass, metal and textile work. There is even a microbrewery.
