The original Abraxas Cookshop opened in July 1996 at the beautifully restored and renovated Heart of The Shires Shopping Village. Built in 1867 and in its former days a model working Victorian farm, the shopping village is now home to twenty two retail outlets. Abraxas Cookshop is situated on the top floor of a 3000 sq ft dutch barn, stocking every item imaginable from a pastry brush to state-of-the art coffee machines, cookware, bakeware, knives, electricals, gadgets, utensils and kitchen work stations.

In March 2004, Abraxas opened another branch in Regent Street, Rugby situated in the Independent Quarter of this historic town. The renovation was carried out in keeping with the nineteenth century building containing beautiful high ceilings, covings and unusual features.
The ground floor houses Le Creuset, Bakeware, Knives, Emma Bridgewater and kitchen gadgets. Downstairs in the beautifully restored basement, customers can view cookware ranges, LSA glassware, Maxwell & Williams and cutlery along with accessories. Our electrical section contains KitchenAid, Dualit, Magimix, Cuisinart and Sage. Don't forget to take a look at the award winning window displays the team create on your way in! Address:
The biggest renovation challenge yet, our Banbury shop was discovered in June 2004 in a very run-down condition. Built in 1867, this unique building, listed and in a conservation area, necessitated a complete restoration. Opened in June 2005, Abraxas Banbury has enjoyed positive customer feed-back. Local people were pleased to see this once dilapidated building transformed into a thriving retail business. The usual extensive and comprehensive range of cookware including knives, bakeware, storage, gadgets, utensils, textiles and work stations are displayed on the first floor.
Downstairs in the vaulted basement, we have our China & Glass section, including Emma Bridgewater pottery, dinnerware, glassware and table-top accessories together with a working coffee machine area where customers may `test-drive' the equipment and sample the result!
We were thrilled when the opportunity arose to take on these lovely premises on a prime shopping street in Northampton, filled with other independent retailers, cafes and bars. Opened in November 2006, Abraxas Northampton benefits from large ground and first floor areas, capturing the rural Abraxas feel into the urban town environment.
