Local suppliers on show at housing development in Potters Bar
Cala Homes has unveiled its first Showhome of Support initiative at its growing development, Sambrooke Park in Potters Bar.
The initiative sees Cala Homes Chiltern partner with local retailers across Hertfordshire and beyond to help dress its newly launched showhome, giving artisans and local retailers a unique platform to showcase their products to prospective buyers.
This is Cala’s first showhome to launch at Sambrooke Park, and it features a collection of items from a carefully curated selection of businesses and creatives.
Independents showcased in the development’s new showhome include:


- Bella Jones Ceramics, an Enfield ceramicist with a pottery studio on Cattlegate Road. Bella’s hand-thrown blue ceramic bowl and spoon set adds a unique flourish to the kitchen space.
- Enfield Garden Centre, one of the largest garden retailers in the area, its Woodbridge Reed Diffuser Set brings a natural, refreshing fragrance to the home.
- Slumbering Hound, located in Hatfield, this retailer is known for handcrafted beds, cushions, blankets and accessories for pets and their owners.
- Pickled Pig Master Butcher & Deli, this well-loved delicatessen and butchers located in Cuffey, provided a selection of artisan, infused vinegars.
- Dutch Marketplace, a family-run business in Brookmans Park, it contributed a pot of local Woodstock Honey and a Marmalade of London candle in a Tuscan lime and basil scent.
- Carl Russell & Co Gunmakers, better known for country clothing and accessories, this Hatfield Park-based retailer provided a traditional soap and soap-saver bag.
- Lamberts Flower Company, a family-run florist in Welwyn Garden City offering beautiful plant-based gifts and arrangements.
