Wrens Shop
The Post Office at East Knoyle closed at the end of February 2004. The community and parish council decided to create a community post office and shop. The shop opened on 23rd June 2006, the Post Office on 13th July and was officially launched by Terry Pratchett on 5th August 2006. It is run completely by volunteers and operates as an Industrial Provident Society with shares and membership held by about 300 members of the community. This allows them to vote on the membership of the Management Board and also on which community projects profits can be spent on. The shop is built on parish owned land on the site which has the bus shelter, adjacent to the war memorial.
Wren's Shop opens from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday and 10am to noon on Sunday. The Post Office is open Monday to Friday from 9am to noon and 3pn to 5pm.
You can find many local and regional produce and all at very advantageous prices.
