Visit Us
There is something rather special about discovering a scent in person.
At Soapary, our collections are designed to be experienced slowly, whether that is stepping into our shop, pausing at a market stall, or finding us unexpectedly at a seasonal event.
Elvaston Castle
You will find us in the Lower Courtyard at Elvaston Castle, part of the wider Elvaston Estate.
Set within the original stable buildings, our shop is a quiet space to explore our full collection of natural skincare and aromatherapy blends. Surrounded by parkland and history, it is a place to take your time, discover new scents, and enjoy a slower moment away from the everyday.
For Sat Nav: DE72 3EP
Parking is available on site, with a short walk through the grounds to the courtyard.
We are open most weekends, with additional days throughout the week. For current opening times, please follow along on our social channels.
Markets & Events
From time to time, we step beyond the courtyard and bring Soapary to a small number of carefully chosen markets and seasonal events.
These are often where many of our customers first discover us, and where we continue to meet both familiar and new faces throughout the year.

A Note on Our Journey
Soapary’s story has always been shaped by place.
Many of you first discovered us at Belvoir Castle, where we spent several years building the foundations of the brand. That sense of heritage, setting and scent continues to influence everything we do today.
Now based at Elvaston, we carry that story forward, creating spaces where scent, memory and wellbeing gently come together.
Plan Your Visit
Whether you are visiting us at Elvaston or finding us at a local market, we always recommend allowing a little time to explore.
Scent is deeply personal, and the best way to discover what resonates with you is simply to experience it for yourself.
We look forward to welcoming you.
