The Oak Room Shop


Stable Yard is an exciting, new retail destination in the grounds of Hatfield House, the home to the 7th Marquess of Salisbury and a mere 21 miles north of London in Hatfield, Hertfordshire. Besides being a beautiful getaway treat for families and grown ups alike, the units assembled here offer a unique and interesting experiencing, purveying products you'd be loathe to find all in one place.

One shop in particular is bound to take your fancy, as it did mine, and that is the Oak Room Shop. A visual treat to behold, if only for its spectacular furnishings and beautiful interior, the shop houses something for everybody, including those special bits and bobs you'd have usually to travel far and wide to see in a single sitting.

Models are (actually) super-cool...

A Hungarian Shadow Theatre Kit

Made by the amazing Budapest based company Manufaktor, whose other wares include fascinating, handmade, rod-marionette puppets - check them out at the source: www.manufaktor.hu





A complete do-it-yourself paper shadow theatre which, equipped with a simple reading lamp, effortlessly allows fantasy and tradition to function within our reality! The theatres architectural aesthetic, drawn from Art Deco and Turkish influences, provides nothing but a sublime backdrop for the possible adventures to be had by the famous characters from traditional Turkish shadow theatre, such as Karagoz and Bebe Ruhi. A true homage to Turkish puppetry.
