Our Story
Private boutique shopping in a beautiful cabin in the garden - Friendly, relaxed, fun and affordable.
Join us on our journey and fall in love with shopping again.
Welcome to the home of The Funky Hen - Secret Boutique. A completely new way to shop!
Once upon a time, I used to go shopping for clothes, and I absolutely hated it!
Some sizes didn’t work for me, with size 20 clothes modelled by size 10 willowy models, sales
assistants telling me I looked lovely in everything I tried on...and don’t get me started about the
changing rooms!
Mirrors are positioned at every angle, intensifying my insecurity in my underwear. The bright lights
and ill-fitting door curtains only add to the discomfort.
So we decided to try to change all that.
It all started with 'just a rail' of clothes to sell alongside my 'craft makes'. One size and fabulous,
affordable styles.
My Husband Chris and I work as a team to make The Funky Hen happen. He supports me hugely, and I couldn’t do it without him.
He acts as a driver, salesperson at events, postman, unpacker and everything else behind the scenes!
Many women dislike clothes shopping because they struggle to find the right colour, style, or size.
Based on our experience, high street shops are not comfortable places to shop. We want to change all of that! Offering a relaxed and pressure free environment for people to shop to their hearts content.
Do you dread clothes shopping the “traditional” way? With The Funky Hen you can finally shop
for clothes and LOVE what you see in the mirror!
We select and personally order all stock to consistently ensure the high quality that we have
become accustomed to.
We also offer guidance on fit and suggest alternative styles or colours that may better complement any shape.

We have a little corner packed full of a range of items. Dresses, tops, trousers, bags, scarves and jewellery. The emporium is open 6 days a week with a lovely cafe We are there once a week and the day can vary (you can check with us which day!)
How we've grown
After starting with just one rail, our Secret Boutique expanded and we eventually opened it in a log cabin in our garden, aiming to offer a unique and personalised shopping experience. We shared photos on our Facebook and Instagram pages, and as our business grew, we realised the need for a website.We understand the importance of finding the right colour and style that completely complements your features and body shape. We promise to be honest and not tell you something looks great when it doesn't. After all, why would you want to buy from us again if we did?
