Connect with the story behind the shoes you have bought. Shoppers at Clarks Village and the local high street in Street can receive a free barista-made drink when they buy a new pair of shoes this May bank holiday. Connecting Street’s rich shoemaking heritage to shoe-shopping today.

This Bank Holiday weekend we launch Espresso Your Sole! giving customers even more reasons to buy the season’s latest shoe styles, with a free barista made drink (teas, coffees, hot chocolates, iced coffees etc.) at Shoemakers Café when they purchase shoes anywhere across Street Village.

Set in the birthplace of Clarks, the initiative aims to do more than offer a post-shopping perk, encouraging visitors to step inside the museum space and engage with the town’s long-standing footwear legacy, linking modern-day shopping with the craftsmanship and history that put Street on the map.

To celebrate the launch weekend of ‘Espresso your Sole’ (Saturday 23 to Monday 25 May), customers can enjoy a free drink with any shoe purchase. The offer will then continue with 25% off hot drinks for shoppers who present a same-day shoe purchase receipt and campaign flyer!

Located within  Shoemakers Museum, Shoemakers Café offers a relaxed setting for visitors to take a break during a day at Clarks Village – whether catching up with friends, recharging between shops, or rounding off a successful shopping trip.

Rosie Martin, Director at Shoemakers Café, said: “Street has shoemaking at its heart and many people visit Clarks Village without realising the depth of that history. Espresso Your Sole is about bringing those worlds together – giving shoppers a reason to step into the museum, take a moment and connect with the story behind the shoes they’ve just bought and the people who made them.”

The Espresso Your Sole offer launches on Saturday 23 May.
