Elphicks

Established in 1881, Elphicks is one of Farnham’s most iconic independent retailers, proudly serving the local community for over 145 years from its original home on West Street.

Originally founded as a drapers, it has evolved into a much-loved destination offering fashion, beauty, homewares, gifts and a traditional haberdashery department, all under one roof.

Set across two trading floors, Elphicks brings together a carefully curated selection including womenswear, menswear, lingerie, shoes, handbags, cosmetics, cookware, toys and home décor.

The store combines well-known brands with thoughtfully chosen pieces, delivering quality, style and value throughout. It also features a strong menswear department, with a well-edited range of established and contemporary brands showcased in a dedicated space.

At the heart of the store, Elphicks continues to engage and inspire customers through a programme of in-store events and seasonal styling showcases.

It stocks brands including White Stuff and Betty Barclay, amongst others, while its in-store events feature appearances from stylist and well-known TV personality Nicky Hambleton-Jones, bringing expert insight and fresh inspiration.

Complementing this, the in-store Heidi Bakery café offers a warm and inviting space to pause and enjoy freshly prepared food, coffee and sweet treats. It’s perfect for meeting friends, enjoying a relaxed coffee, or taking a moment to unwind.

Renowned for its friendly, knowledgeable service, Elphicks continues to attract a loyal following – from long-standing customers who return year after year to new visitors discovering it for the first time.

Particularly noted for its haberdashery and toy departments, the store offers a breadth of choice that is increasingly rare on today’s high street, bringing together everything from practical essentials to thoughtful, design-led finds.

Whether you’re picking up everyday essentials, finding something special for the home, or choosing the perfect gift, Elphicks offers a relaxed and enjoyable shopping experience, all under one roof.

A vibrant part of Farnham’s community and heritage, it remains a much-loved, must-visit destination in the heart of the town centre.
