From fashion to vintage and décor, Port Hope has a very cool collection of shops for browsing and discovering just what you are looking for in our historic downtown and rolling countryside.
Heritage storefronts and country marketplaces
Customer service is our forte! In Port Hope, you can walk into intimate, independent shops and galleries, where you're likely to be greeted by the owner. We have a unique collection of shops worth exploring. The beauty here is the charm: roadside marketplaces on our country roads and heritage storefronts in the picture-postcard downtown where you can pop into cafes for a bite to eat or a quick caffeination.
Upcycled vintage for your home and wardrobe
If you love interesting pieces with a backstory, get ready for the hunt. We've got four thrift shops, Thrill of the Find with designer vintage fashion and well-loved Gryphon Books for gently used books. Pet the bunny! Antique enthusiasts are regulars at Smith's Creek Antiques for furniture, Antiques on Queen where it's like shopping in a museum and Dwellissimo for mid-century art, lighting and Scandinavian furniture.
