Not sure if it's common knowledge yet, but I have it on good authority that Bradbury are opening a workshop in Kent.

They have put a few teasers on their social media about training up a couple of guys to run a uk workshop.

I have asked them a couple of times for more info as I am thinking about a refurb for the ex-pro Bradbury I picked up a few months back, but not had a response.

Be interesting to see what happens just seems very close to salix who posted this picture on their page





not saying that they are making for Bradbury just thought both pictures looked similar apart from the handles being cut out

Am I right in thinking that the Bradbury workshop was in Ledian Farm all those years ago before they were in Taunton?

Still can't work out how to post photos on the forum, but saw this from a mate who worked at Bradbury in Perth this winter...

I for one will certainly be hotfooting it down to their new workshop asap. The last time I had bats made by them in Somerset, it was one of the best experiences of buying a bat, and was an amazing bat for many years. I couldn't recommend them highly enough both as people and batmakers.
