'Whilst Others May Imitate Us -
the Original is Still the Best' 

Welcome to the Oldest Sweet Shop Online providing quality, traditional sweets from our shop straight to your door!

Set in the picturesque Yorkshire Dales, The Oldest Sweet Shop In England has been selling old sweet favourites for nearly two centuries and thus we have accumulated a vast knowledge and expertise that no others can match in the sweet industry. 

Unlike many others we do not sell inferior cheap sweets, we only sell a select selection of quality sweets (made by unique companies big and small with centuries of expertise) that have not only passed our standards but the millions of customs like you.

Though we would love for you to visit our historic and world renowned shop we realise that it is not always possible so we have provided a superior mail order service for your sweetie needs.

Ordering through our website gives you the opportunity to view through some of our vast selection of sweets sat at home; mouth watering, whilst reminiscing sweet memories with our unusual but simple to use scrolling system; just select the category of choices, allow it to load and watch the sweets glide across your screen.  After you have selected your goodies you can enter your delivery details and be whizzed to out secure payment facility SagePAY (formally Protx). 

Once your payment has been accepted your order will be packed in the sweet shop by us (not in a factory hundreds of miles away!) to ensure care and quality throughout.  We will inspect your sweets before they are packed to make sure they meet our high standard; then pack them in cellophane bags to ensure they stay fresh and place them in a thick post box (with your own wax sealed invoice!) with adequate protection for transit  They are then placed in the capable hands of Royal Mail or our Courier service Fedex where they will be delivered to you.
