A Truly Traditional Sweet Shop in the heart of Yorkshire
Do you have happy childhood memories of a traditional sweet shop? The kind where you walk in and there are wall to wall sweets; you can have whatever you want weighed out from good old fashioned jars, mixing and matching your favourites and merrily walking home sucking on a Pear Drop, or a Lemon Sherbet or perhaps dipping a liquorice stick into a Sherbert Fountain?
Bah Humbugs is just such a shop, stocking all your childhood favourites. Nestled in the beautiful market town of Masham in the Yorkshire Dales, Bah Humbugs is a treat for everyone, the young and not so young! Your senses are overloaded as memories flood back, Sherbert Pips, Floral Gums, Kola Cubes, Blue Raspberry Bon Bons, Rhubarb and Custards. Everywhere you look there are sweets you remember and perhaps thought you couldn’t get anymore. Well you can!
Remember Black Jacks? Fruit Salads? Fizz Wizz, the popping candy that explodes on your tongue? How about Refreshers, Drumsticks, Double Lollies, Sherbert Dip Dab and so many more Retro Sweets.
Also on the list are good old fashioned toffees, in so many different flavours; Mint Toffees, Liquorice Toffee, Dairy Toffee and who remembers Chocolate Eclairs and Merry Maids?
If you’re a liquorice fan then perhaps your preference is for Liquorice All sorts or Pontefract Cakes? Or Liquorice Torpedoes? So many sweets are packed and ready for you to pick straight from the shelf, others you may have to ask to be weighed out.
Liquorices from Bah Humbugs
If you’re looking for something special as a gift you will find plenty of ideas. Maybe a hamper would fit the bill? Retro Hamper, Liquorice Hamper, Best of British Hamper, Lions Hamper all make fantastic presents. Or maybe a Retro Cube or Micro Retro Sweet Jar is more the sort of thing you would give this Christmas?
Very traditionally Bah Humbugs pack sweets into glass jars to give as birthday or Christmas gifts or perhaps a hostess gift? That would make a fantastic way to finish a dinner party! There is the Retro Blast Jar, Toffee Treat Jar and the Best of British Jar, all of which come in Small or Large Sizes.
As if that’s not enough, this Yorkshire sweet shop will do just about anything you want as far as making up special orders. They do party bags for children (or adults!), and can be personalised with a message of your choice, and colour co-ordinated for boys or girls. Wedding favours, staff gifts, corporate gifts, baby showers – you name it and they will pack it for you. You don't need to have a party to give a Sweet Gift Bag, maybe you would just like to surprise your friends at a coffee morning?
The online store delivers everything that you see on the shelves and if you want Sweet Gift Bags making up to order just drop them an email with the details of your requirements and they will be happy to help. Any order can be delivered overseas as well as in the UK so this is a simple and perfect way to make sure your friends and family abroad get a gift from you.
Should you wish to give someone a gift that doesn’t disappoint by being finished the day after Christmas Day or their Birthday then Bah Humbugs run a Sweet Subscription Club where, for varying levels, you can have sweets delivered on a monthly basis. A fantastic gift idea for those dads, mums, granddads and grandmas who seem to have everything!
Bah Humbugs certainly is a proper sweet shop, a treat in every sense of the word. So, if you’re in North Yorkshire and passing through Masham as you head to the Yorkshire Dales, or if you’re visiting some of the other attractions in town (did you know Masham is home to two breweries? Black Sheep and Theakstons!) then call in and see for yourself. If a visit in person isn’t possible then pop online to Bahhumbugs.com and have a good browse. Competitions are run regularly so make a point of keeping an eye out for them . Happy Sweet eating!
