The Bead Shop, Bead Jewellery & Craft Supplies

Hello and welcome to The Nottingham Bead Shop’s website, the UK’s friendliest bead shop. We’ve been selling beads and craft materials in our purple shop since 2000 and online since 2002. We have a passion for all things beads, jewellery and craft and love sharing our knowledge. We run a regular program of workshops from silversmithing to bead weaving and glass fusing to tiara making.

If you’re new to jewellery making why not check out our how to start beading page. As well as videos for beading beginners we also have a wide range of free bead, craft & jewellery projects and patterns. Our bead kits, which are designed and made in house by our beading experts, provide a great place to get started and make fantastic gifts for crafters and creatives.
