Aburi Crafts Village — Local services in Eastern Region

For anyone whose been on my website you’d know that frequent the aburi road but I never paid attention to the place .

Chanced on it last week when I was searching for places to visit in aburi as was planning a short return trip during the weekend.

It’s a very spacious place with many vendors selling African crafts and dresses, jewellery and anything African .

The shops were filled with many artefacts on display. Although most of the shops were closed I still have a good time filing through the stalls and blocks

It’s on the right side of the road and as such you can’t miss it .

We bought an African print dress and also a shirt . The vendors are soo friendly and very helpful.

Even when you don’t buy anything after scanning through a shop you’re not made to feel bad.

I did see a lot of beautiful artefacts and can’t wait to visit again and make more purchases.

It’s important to add that , their prices are very affordable as supposed to buying elsewhere.

I do suggest you visit on a week day if you wish to see all the shops open

Oh yeah , there’s a glass building that has been set up like how a royal room . It’s beautiful You pay no entry fee whatsoever, just take your time and tour .

Don’t worry about getting a car back home. You can order for a ride or pick tro tro.

And if you need to use an atm machine there is one at the PWTC just around the aburi station.. or you have...

I like that they've made shopping for crafts in aburi safer than what it was before. There are some good carvings there at great prices. However don't just stand at the front row. There's a lady, Adwoa Benewah, she's on the third row to the furthest left. She's a great lady, lots of fun and banter and she's got great items to buy. My sister and cousin went to another lady and had a terrible sales experience so just find Adwoa Benewah...

Unfortunately I went there on Xmas day so not many shops were open. It think 3 at most. I would have loved to see the selection of all the different artisans. Nonetheless, I bought a sculpture that I am very fond of and it is now proudly displayed in my house. Loveeeeeeee it! If I go back to Ghana, I'll certainly come back...
