The Official Merrythought Teddy Bear Shop

The lady who served me in the Merrythought shop was extremely helpful and chatty and I was very pleased with my bear purchase. I also visited the antique shop and cafe which had a lovely view over the water. However, my low score has to reflect the overall experience of my first visit which was marred by the £100!! parking fine I received after unknowingly staying a total of 13 minutes over the free parking period. I feel that the private parking company Merrythought Village use for their visitor car park charges a highly disproportionate amount (even taking onto consideration the reduced amount of £60 if you pay immediately) for going a few minutes over time - it's just greedy. Please be aware if you are considering a visit.

Nice high quality shop for teddy bears and other soft toys for gifts and to your kids. They have a dedicated PERSONALISED TEDDY BEARS service so that your child name can be your choice of ribbon and thread colour and enter an embroidered message for its footpad below.

Great shop for all of teddy bears fans ! Nice customer service :)

I ordered two bears from Merrythought to be shipped to Canada. Freddy Fox and Bevan Bear. They arrived in good order, are of the finest quality, and were shipped promptly. I love them.

The bears/animals are wonderful and shipped very fast with excellent tracking, very nice packaging. Delightful!

I have owned a Cheeky Bear since birth and was fabulous to visit the little shop in Ironbridge where the magic is made. Fascinating display of old bears and animals, could really do with a little museum (the lady there did say that they have loads more that could go on display). Staff were so knowledgeable and helpful. Although you can only visit the shop, you can wander behind it to see the office and the workshop. Unfortunately you can't go in to the workshop - but I wouldn't want to see limbless bears anyway! Well worth dropping in and having a quick mooch around.

Have not visited here yet; however, I did receive the Edward bear made from this store/company. I was very surprised of the quality, and he is made very very well. Sending love from the US! Cannot wait to actually go to the store when I can travel!

Lovely shop with a helpful lady and great selection of bears made in the UK.I bought Felix, really pleased with the bear and glad to contribute to a local business!

Fantastic little shop staffed by two very lovely ladies when we visited on a Sunday.
