Barnaby's Coffee Shop
Our Classic Cars @ Barnaby's series returns this Saturday, with some 50 cars expected outside Barnaby's from 10am. Recent events have featured some splendid examples from Rolls Royce, MG, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, Alfa Romeo and others, so we are very excited to see what might turn up this weekend!

Without our wonderful volunteers, Barnaby's can not function. As more and more of you come back to help with a shift or two, so we are now able to return to full pre-pandemic opening hours. For those who already have a login, September shifts are now available on ShiftController. As more volunteers return to Barnaby's, so the BBT have been able to extend our opening hours and increase our level of service.
Services
Barnaby's is a community coffee shop in the beautiful village of Swanmore, set next to St. Barnabas Church. Originally built in Victorian times as the Old School Room, it had a rich history in education until the Primary School was built across the road. After a long period of little use by the village or the church, the building was completely refurbished in 2014 by a team of volunteers, and Barnaby's opened for business in October that year.
Barnaby's can be found in the buildings attached to the parish church of St Barnabas, in the picturesque village of Swanmore. Look out for our distinctive green sign! Right opposite the sign is a large car park, which is free to Barnaby's customers. There are many inspiring walks and cycle routes that pass through the village or start/finish here, as it is just 5 minutes from Bishops Waltham, 7 minutes from Wickham, and 10 minutes from Droxford.
Barnaby's is entirely run by an amazing group of volunteers, who make it a vibrant, fun and engaging place to be. If you have ever fancied trying your hand as a barista, or you simply love baking, then we would love to meet. Whether you have just a few hours to spare each week or each month, you will be very welcome at Barnaby's.
Barnaby's operates a Charity Awareness Scheme (CAS) in support of local registered charities & good causes. Nominated charities are featured in Barnaby's on a Saturday morning, after which we'll donate 50% of the days takings to them. Recent beneficiaries of our CAS are listed here. To receive support from our CAS, you can nominate a charity yourself.

I can’t thank the team at Barnaby’s enough for helping us to make our event today absolutely magical. The food, coffee and smiley faces couldn’t be beaten and the vegan cake you arranged is the best I’ve ever tasted! You guys rock and I’d recommend you to all! 💓

When visiting my daughter and family, I love visiting Barnaby's, even if washing children's toys is on the menu!!! The cakes are difficult to resist and the coffee is excellent. Thanks should be given to the hard working committee and helpers who keep this village amenity going. Well done to everyone.

Full marks to this venture. The coffee is good and the team are very friendly helpful. A slightly overdone toast tea cake was replaced even without being asked.

I love the coffee - not bitter at all. But most of all I love the atmosphere. Run by volunteers, I know the profits are going to the church and the community. Now I work from my Swanmore home, I've been having business meetings with people there rather than at home .

Great coffee and friendly service. Love the decor/lighting too. I'll be popping out from the salon for my takeout large latte most days and am recommending to all my clients :)
