Hidden Treasures
Where community spirit meets beautiful gifts.
From exquisite works of art to beautifully crafted wearables, Hidden Treasures in Burwell is packed with unique finds.
Every purchase supports local artistry and fosters a more inclusive community.
Crafts that build a community.
Our gift shop, Hidden Treasures, was born out of a desire to provide more opportunities for adults with additional needs to get involved in the local community.
The shop provides a space for talented artisans to share their one-of-a-kind pieces and enables adults with additional needs to develop valuable retail and customer service skills.
Hidden Treasures is home to our exclusive Burwell Funky Soap range. Crafted with creativity and care by the individuals we support, the soaps are a must-see (and smell!) for any visitor.
Ceramics is another one of our craft projects that our Printers thoroughly enjoy, gaining immense pleasure and creativity from the hands-on experience of clay. We also sell our ceramic products at Hidden Treasures.
Burwell Funky Soap
Our handmade soaps, with their vibrant colours and uplifting scents, are guaranteed to brighten your day. We use a high-glycerin recipe that's not only super moisturising but also gentle on your skin (it's SLS-free!). Plus, our vegan recipe and cruelty-free approach mean you can feel good about using them.

How we make Burwell Funky Soap
Creating these amazing soaps and bubble bars is a team effort. Our 'printers' – the adults we support – handle everything from mixing ingredients to packing the finished product.
Every session starts with prepping the base, chopping fresh ingredients, and meticulously measuring everything. Safety and cleanliness are always our top priorities.
We can create up to three different soaps at once, from simple designs to intricate masterpieces with hidden surprises. Every soap is a work of art!
We're constantly dreaming up new designs and the fun doesn't end until we have the perfect name. The whole team throws out ideas, from the whimsical to the wonderful. Once we have a shortlist, the votes come in, and our newest soap is ready to greet the world!
Reduce. Reuse. Recycle ... Refill.

Eco Bricks
We recycle our waste paper and combine it with securely shredded customer documents to create Eco Bricks.
These handy little bricks are perfect for your fireplace, garden fire pit or wood burner. Use them on their own for kindling, or toss them in with your usual fuel for a longer, cosier burn.
£2 per bag (approximately 4–6 briquettes).
