2025 has been a standout year of activity as Woodbridge enters 2026 stronger than ever
Key 2025 Lettings
Lisa Angel – 20A Thoroughfare
Following the brand’s regional success in Norwich and Bury St Edmunds, Lisa Angel expanded into Woodbridge in May 2025, reinforcing the town’s growing collection of design-led, experiential retailers.
Cash Access UK – 52 Thoroughfare
With banks withdrawing from High Streets nationally, Elsom Spettigue Associates secured Cash Access UK to restore essential banking services for the town. Their arrival ensures Woodbridge remains accessible and service-oriented for residents, businesses, and visitors.
Portion – 12 Quay Street
At the bottom of Quay Street, Portion has introduced a contemporary and vibrant new food concept, activating a key walkway to the riverside and reinforcing Woodbridge’s growing reputation as a high-quality destination for food and drink.
Jermyn Taylor – 28 Church Street
The arrival of Jermyn Taylor broadens Woodbridge’s commercial depth, introducing fresh tax, accounting and legal services into the town centre and enhancing the rich diversity of professional occupiers.
Independent Additions
Woodbridge’s distinctive identity continues to attract a huge range of entrepreneurial independents. This year’s openings include:
- Bramblebee & Co. – boutique lifestyle retailer – 5 Thoroughfare
- HF Interiors – high-quality homeware and interiors – 2 Church Street
- AT Blooms – floral and botanical specialist – 1A Hamblin Walk
These businesses further strengthen the independent mix that underpins the town’s character and appeal.
A High Street at Full Strength
Across retail, food, lifestyle, and professional uses, 2025 has delivered a well-balanced mix of national brands, regional operators, and strong independents to Woodbridge’s High Street. At Elsom Spettigue Associates, we have been working behind the scenes to secure lease renewals that further stabilise occupancies, while introducing new entrants to fill gaps in the town’s offer. As a result, Woodbridge High Street is now more occupied than at any point in recent years, emerging from 2025 with momentum and entering 2026 in a position of strength.
