Overall Ratings

Unique as one of only four puppet theatres constructed in England, with puppeteers bridges for marionettes and a pit for working rod puppets from below. The site lines are great for children, with all the rows of seats on a steep rake, allowing children to see over adults. All of our productions are written, designed and produced in our own on site workshops,staged with full lighting and musical scores and appeal to all ages. The theatre has an on site cafe and also an on site free entry art gallery with shop. Tables can be reserved in the cafe for groups visiting the puppet theatre and a children's menu is offered. We were awarded the Readers Choice Culture Award from Cumbria Life Magazine this year for our venue and last year won the "Sustainable Tourism Award" from Cumbria Tourist board for our"Eco" buildings and sound green business ethic. Many of our audience members have returned year after year to see our performances and after show meet the puppet sessions for photographs.

We saw Puss in Boots with our 6 year old. She was enthralled through. Wonderful production, and it's great that the children can ask questions and see the puppets at the end. Would highly recommend.

With around 400 different gins and an eclectic mix of wines, beers, spirits, food and drink, Chestnut House is fast becoming the place to shop in Cumbria and The Lakes
Reviewed By CKM6969 - Greater Manchester, United Kingdom
Probably the best selection of deli style foods, beers, wines & spirits I've ever seen in such a compact store. Owners & staff super friendly and absolutely know their stuff, and stock some stunning local produce and lots more - if you like gin then this will be your 'Gin Nirvana' and I'd highly recommend you pay them and the lovely little village that is Pooley Bridge a visit - definitely on my list next time I'm over that way

We were staying at a Hotel a few miles away, got talking to a couple, they told us about this wonderful Chocolate Factory with a cafe at Orton, so next day we went, lovely little village, and the Chocolate shop was fantastic, I m allergic to all dairy products, so you can imagine my delight to find hand made chocolates I can enjoy.????, we had a coffee, with chocolate medallions on a plate, and then had soup and a sandwich. They lady who served us made doubly sure that nothing had dairy in it. Lovely friendly staff. There is a viewing window to see the chocolates being made, but no tours through the factory, which is really good health and safety regulations. I brought a great selection of chocolate and a leaflet home with me and have since placed 2 orders, for chocolates, for Xmas presents for friends. AND some dairy free ones for myself????????. Many thanks Kennedy’s.

This gallery is a delight. Full of lovely things including art work, pottery and books. It was an unexpected find and a source of joy. The owner (?) is a kind and informative man. I wish I had had more time to peruse everything and then have coffee and cake.
