Drinks & Nightlife

A funky, quaint place to pop in and pick out one of the many non-alcoholic drinks. Also has a sweet shop & some books written by local authors about the local area. The cordials make great gifts too.

Everything Else

A fun day out for the whole family if necessary. It's never really that busy (which is a shame for the business, but great for visitors!). Lessons available too, and a full range of classes.

Food Scene

Changed it's name, but offers coffee throughout the day (so if visiting the East Lancs Railway, you should make time to pop in). At the weekends they have entertainment and sometimes a band.
