Our Story

Cornucopia is a charming, family-owned business located in the heart of Worcester, renowned for its rich history and unwavering commitment to exceptional products and service.

Founded in 1985 by Kirsten and Mike Linton, Cornucopia spent 28 successful years in Cathedral Plaza. The torch was then passed to Clare and Hannah Bishop, who continued the store’s legacy by relocating it to Chapel Walk, where it thrives today.

Our dedication to excellence has not gone unnoticed. Cornucopia was proudly named Britain’s Best Small Shop and also won Best Window Display at The Greats Gift Retailer Awards in 2020.

Specialising in a thoughtfully curated collection of high-quality gifts and homewares, we proudly showcase products from independent designers, all made in Britain. Our personal touch ensures you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for.

Come visit Cornucopia, where generations of passion and expertise combine to create an unforgettable shopping experience.

Our Story

Since 1985, Cornucopia Home & Gift has been at the heart of Worcester, helping customers discover beautiful homeware, thoughtful gifts and timeless pieces to treasure.

Founded by Mike and Kirsten Linton, Cornucopia was built on a simple belief: that the little things in life deserve to be celebrated. From carefully chosen gifts to beautiful home accessories, every product has always been selected with quality, style and longevity in mind.

In 2014, the business was taken over by Clare Bishop, who has continued to build on the values that have made Cornucopia a much-loved independent retailer. Since 2016, Clare has been joined by her daughter, Hannah, whose background in Interior Design has brought a fresh perspective to the business, both in store and online.

Today, Cornucopia remains proudly family-run, curating collections from some of the UK's most loved brands alongside carefully selected independent makers. Every item is chosen for its quality, craftsmanship and timeless appeal, ensuring our customers can find beautiful pieces to enjoy in their homes or give as thoughtful gifts.

Whether you're searching for the perfect present, refreshing your home or celebrating a special occasion, our knowledgeable and friendly team is always on hand to help. We believe shopping should be personal, inspiring and enjoyable, creating an experience that's every bit as memorable as the products themselves.

More than four decades after opening our doors, our passion remains the same: to offer beautiful products, exceptional customer service and a warm welcome to everyone who visits us in Worcester or shops with us online.
