About Sweet Memory Lane
Sweet Memory Lane is a traditional family sweet shop, run by a fun-loving and quirky team of sweet enthusiasts. Whether you’re craving a quarter of a sweet you thought was long lost, or simply a bag of your favourite treats, we are here to serve you with a smile.
Our shelves are filled with over 300 jars of sweets, ranging from traditional boiled favourites to Haribo, from Flying Saucers to humbugs, and even an ever-increasing selection of sugar-free sweets and chocolate. In fact, we believe you’d be hard pressed to find such an extensive range anywhere nearby, throughout Leicestershire, or possibly even across the Midlands.
But sweets aren’t the only thing we’re passionate about. Our tables and crates are brimming with luxury chocolate from Kernow & Perlege, delightful candy, and authentic Turkish Delight from Mr Stanley’s. Seasonally, you’ll also find shortbread from Simply Cornish on the gorgeous Cornish coast and coffee from one of the UK’s oldest importers, Taylors of Harrogate. And of course, we couldn’t forget our delicious fudge, still made the traditional way in copper pans and brought all the way from Cornwall.
Our party bags are legendary, and they always go down well with kids of all ages — even the grown-up ones! We know the best part of any party is the goodie bag you take home. From climbing parties to cinema trips for a first big birthday treat, we have plenty of ideas to make every celebration extra special.
For those even bigger moments, such as weddings or milestone events, we offer a beautiful range of wedding favours and table gifts. From simple elegance to bold statements, we work closely with you or your caterers to ensure your tables have the perfect finishing touch. Furthermore, if you’re planning something on a larger scale, our Candy Buffets are the perfect show-stopping addition to any occasion.
In addition to this, we also specialise in gift boxes and corporate gifts, all created with exceptional care and attention. Whether it’s a hamper of gourmet liquorice for Great Aunt Ruth, or perhaps a tailored box of sweets and chocolates designed specifically for your company, we’ll help you make the perfect choice. As a team, we pride ourselves on our attention to detail. After all, if it isn’t perfect for us, we won’t be satisfied. That’s why, whether you’re giving a unique birthday surprise, sending a thoughtful ‘Thank You’ or ‘Get Well Soon’, buying a teacher’s gift, or simply treating yourself, our beautifully wrapped and tagged boxes always make the right impression.

My children have just opened their Christmas movie night boxes and they are amazing. Jam packed full of delicious sweets and beautifully packed. Plus they were delivered for free right to our house. Cannot recommend Sweet Memory Lane enough xx

A proper sweet shop (my family lives going there – we can all get something) with lovely helpful owners. Had some nice gifting confectionery stuff too.

I ordered several Easter eggs from Sweet Memory Lane for family and friends around the country who I couldn’t get to see given the current situation. All the recipients were thrilled to bits with their Easter surprises. Thank you so much.
Jessica
Ordered sweets for father’s day and they came in a nice box with ribbon, lovely presentation and a great gift. We’ve had a couple of orders delivered during lock down and the service and sweets have been fantastic. Very friendly staff and tasty sweets, great place to have in Ashby.

Great selection of sweets and treats, there really is something for everyone! I purchased a Valentines gift box for my partner from here, and it was put together beautifully. I’ll be coming back to try one of the new milkshakes!
