The main church building houses an Alladin's cave of antiques ranging from toys, through to books, jewellery and furniture. It is an amazing place to browse, bringing back a lot of memories from childhood (oops, showing my age a little), and giving lots of inspiration for home ideas. This alone makes the place worth a visit.
When we first went there was a "coffee shop", which consisted of a small side room with very basic tables and chairs, and was not very inviting. However, and it's a big "however", they have completely set the game at a higher level and opened a cafe/retaurant in a very tastefully done extension on the side of the church. It utilises the old outside wall of the church building, which brings the old architecture into the atmosphere, and the large windows give views out onto the Lancashire hills, making it one of the nicest locations around to enjoy a meal, a drink, and your favourite company. The food is excellent, to the highest of standards, to say nothing of the cakes!!
My drink of choice was presented very nicely (see below) and was very enjoyable. We have been there several times before, will definitely be going again, and would happily recommend it to anybody.
There are numerous walks locally, as well, so you can make a day (or half-day) of it with a walk and refrshments.
