If you've ever loved a meal so much that you wished it could last forever, this story's for you...

Welcome to Bourdon Street Chippy, a new fish and chip shop opening in London - but you can't eat anything, because it's made entirely out of felt.

In total, there are a whopping 65,000 handmade items in the fluff-filled shop, including fabric fish and chips, jumbo sausages, tubs of salt, bottles of vinegar, and menus.

Every piece of food in the shop is made from felt - from chippy classics like fish and chips, to mushy peas and pies. They even have little smiley faces sewn into them!

It's not just the food that's made out of felt either - the fabric walls are covered in felt-made menus and signs too

Artist Lucy Sparrow says she wanted to create something that we all know and love. "Pretty much everyone has a favourite chippy tea – mine is large cod and chips, with loads of salt and vinegar", she said.

It's not the first time Lucy has 'felt' the need to create shops made of fabric. She has previously made corner shops, a supermarket, and even a full-sized chemist in 2021.
