Christmas at House of Marbles

Christmas is our favourite time of year at House of Marbles!

The shop is packed to the rafters with unique gifts and toys, and the Teign Valley Glassmakers are preparing their studio for the festivities, whilst the rest of the team get ready to offer you a warm welcome.
