Life in the glamorous village full of boutiques named one of the UK's best places to live
With pretty boutiques housed in a patchwork of historic buildings along its bustling High Street, Tarporley is a thriving village community in the heart of Cheshire. It has won countless "best kept village" awards over the years, has a Royal connection, and can now add the accolade of being named one of the Best Places to Live in the UK by The Sunday Times.
The people who live and work here heartily agree. Sally Victoria Ellis is a fashion designer who creates bespoke event and wedding dresses from her own SVE studios just off the high street. "You get a lot of families moving up here from down South now because they know how great the schools are here and just the quality of life. Tarporley is literally a high street but everyone sticks together, everyone roots for each other, I’m on my own with a child and everyone supports me."
Walking inside, the boutique is filled with colourful dresses and glittering party frocks which certainly add to the "glamour" of the high street. Alicia said: "We do a lot of fun brands, a lot of female-led brands - things people wouldn't ordinarily find on the high street, and I think that's what appeals to shoppers coming into Tarporley.
Even charity shops in this village are a little bit different. Along the high street you'll find The Vintage Charity Shop, which specialises in furniture and crockery to raise funds for Tarporley Cottage Hospital. The pub is found across the ground floor with an array of seating across its traditional and modern rooms, while there are 16 bedrooms upstairs and across its courtyard. Also upstairs is the spiritual home of what is known as "the oldest surviving fox hunting group in the world".
Now, Cheshire Pub Co boss Simon Kalton has taken on the iconic Old Fire Station site on High Street. And returning to Tarporley was particularly special for him as he formerly ran the village's iconic Swan Hotel for seven years.
