Cracking local park which is family friendly. Lots to do at the Bradford Road end with lake, kids adventure playground bowling green, tennis courts and skate park. Even a cafe on most days. Lovely paths to walk and exercise on higher up which leads to Bagshaw Museum which is well worth a visit itself as it's a hidden gem. The park and the museum are great for walking, for the kids to explore (as it's got a treasure trail where kids can take rubbings of off of posts set along the way to investigate and link back to the museum). This is a great local amenity

We come here virtually every Monday. We stop off first in the restaurant on the top floor for a drink and a toasted tea cake. The staff here are very friendly and by now know what we want to order. There is a lift as well as an escalator up to this floor. A craft group meet here every Monday and every other Monday is a tea dance where some of the dancers dress up in 40s clothes and the place is usually packed. There are plenty of different shopping areas in the store and two other places to eat in the main building. The ladies in Edinburgh Woollen Mill on the ground floor are very friendly and extremely helpful. There is a wide selection of clothes there for both men and women . We can also recommend Angelina’s cafe for lovely sandwiches , also on the ground floor. Outside on the terrace is The Works and a garden centre. The car park is large and there is plenty of disabled parking too. When I had an operation on my foot I was able to ring up and book a wheelchair to get me round. Tesco is a few minutes walk away if you need to do any grocery shopping

The hideaway kitchen was excellent . We went to red brick looking for furniture but had a wonderful brunch in the sun on an open heated outside terrace. It was great to be out of lockdown and both the food and service was excellent. Well done and thank you.
