Converge at No.4 Church Street is turning 1 this Easter. It’s a  small, independent shop built on a love for creativity and community.  Initially featuring 24 artists, designers and makers over the past year this has grown to 40 all of which are based in East Anglia, bringing together a collection that’s thoughtful, unique, and full of character.

Converge is situated in a 17th century pub located opposite St. Michael’s Church. Inside you will find a creative welcoming space where people feel at home, can discover something a bit special, and always leave with a smile.

To mark the first year, Converge has launched some new products — a Framlingham tote bag, along with a matching print and postcard all wonderfully illustrated by Jem Seeley, @jemseeley_illustrates, with 10% of all sales from these being donated to St Elizabeth Hospice to help support the incredible work they do in our community.

What started as a small idea has grown into something really meaningful and that’s all thanks to support from the local community and fabulous holiday makers. Whether you have popped in once, became a regular, or just stopped by for a chat, you’ve helped shape Converge.

Over the past year, they have shared a lot of great moments, a lot of laughter and met some brilliant people and learned a lot along the way. So next time you are in Framlingham please pop in and say Hi. We’re open 7 days a week, 9.30 – 4pm, slightly shorter hours on Sundays
