Celt-Iberia Traders in Beautiful and Historical New Hope, PA
Celt-Iberia Traders, in its 15th year of business, is located in the 1750 Parry Barn in the center of New Hope. The building is pre-Revolutionary War, and was originally the stable and hay loft for the Parry Family. We are in the parking lot of the Bucks County Playhouse, which re-opened in the summer of 2012 under new ownership and management. Come see us when you visit the beautiful Delaware Valley, and you will see traditional, cutting-edge and artistic products from Ireland and Spain that you won't see anywhere else in the US! We also have an interesting and unique art gallery upstairs, containing highly unusual prints, batiks, oil paintings, ceramic and glass pieces and limited edition pieces. You won't be disappointed. Celt-Iberia Traders is a destination in and of itself!
