The Sunday Society is 10 minutes outside of Cambridge, but well worth the trip!  It is situated in the old Matangi Dairy Factory complex and is a gallery-like showroom selling a quality selection of authentic vintage, antique, & industrial European furniture, and a thoughtful collection of beautiful new homewares.

There are many one-of-a-kind items that have a story to tell, that look good and feel great to use.
