A new fragrance shop is set to open in Farnham's Lion and Lamb Yard in the coming weeks - the first new arrival since Jamestown took over management of the shopping destination.

Freckleface, a family-run British business, will bring its handmade, vegan home fragrances and wellbeing products to the historic town-centre shopping yard.

The shop will occupy a 558 sq ft unit between Jo Malone and Cleverly Wrapped, with work on fitting out the premises expected to begin shortly.

Founded in 2017 by mother-and-son team Tara and Noah Carlile-Swift, Freckleface began life at the family kitchen table when Noah was just 14.

Since then, the business has grown into a home-fragrance brand with its own high-street shops and more than 800 stockists across the UK, including farm shops in Surrey.

Its range includes candles, wax melts, reed diffusers, room sprays and wellbeing products inspired by nature. All products are handmade at the company's workshop in England.

Freckleface also plans to hold creative fragrance workshops at Lion and Lamb Yard, giving customers the chance to learn more about the art of scent-making.

Tara Carlile-Swift, founder of Freckleface Home Fragrance, said: “We are thrilled to be bringing Freckleface to Farnham.

“Lion and Lamb Yard feels like a natural home for us: it has a strong sense of character and community, and we are looking forward to sharing our handmade fragrances and wellbeing products with local customers.”

Rachael Miller, of Jamestown Europe, said: “Freckleface is a welcome addition to Lion and Lamb Yard and reflects the considered approach we are taking as custodian of this much-loved part of Farnham.

“Its family story, British craftsmanship and thoughtful approach to products make it a strong fit for the Yard, adding to the mix for residents, visitors and the wider town centre.”
