An outstanding collection of arcade history & modern imports, machines that honestly are older than I am in full working order and what's better, all on free play! The age of the machines is funnily "sold out" by their coin mechanisms, they might be on free play but seeing 10p credits is a total throwback to before even my time. You name it there's a fair chance they have it on the third floor which is all ages, it's a who's who of arcade history from Space Invaders & Galaxian to slightly more modern classics like Time Crisis & with it being free play it's also less galling when your timing isn't as good as it used to be! The second floor is more aimed towards the rhythm folks but genuinely wouldn't look out of place in Akihabara - in a figurative AND literal sense! This one's over 16's only and is a heaven of dance games, random obscure Japanese rhythm games & a bunch of top notch VR stations as well just to prove that it's not all an antiques roadshow! The table flipping game though is a personal favourite, I'd seen it on YouTube but now I know why it's a cult favourite, gotta check that one out for sure! Food & drink is catered for - I didn't have any snacks while I was there but something up on the second floor smelled great & the prices are honestly of the sort of value that makes you feel like you're robbing the place! They clearly have an ethos of send the customer home happy & it shows, not very often you'll see places like this have reasonable prices on food & drink! Value for money is outstanding, under £20 and you can access both floors from opening til chucking out time, compared with what I'd spend in an "a-la-carte" arcade that's daylight robbery on my part! The machines are generally well cared for and well maintained, have to remember that in some cases the machines are 30+ years old and I dare say used to oblivion even on a 4 day week! (seriously for the age of them they work a dream!) I know they're opening a new location in Leeds but well, if they're looking for a Scottish outreach I'd support that to the hills and back! Might have taken a couple of years to get down but having been, it won't be a couple of years until I get back!

Great walk up from Ramsbottom station. Dog leading the way. Wet and wild at the top. With this great dark tower looking over the moor. V impressive. Amazing views out to Manchester City centre before the weather closed in. Well worth a visit. Legend has it the tower is occasionally open and you can climb the steps to the top. Will be good to do that post covid !!

The coffee shop in Bury parish church is a sanctuary in more ways than one. It is an oasis of tranquility in a hectic world. The service is always friendly, the coffee reasonably priced and you get proper butter with your teacake. Heartily recommended.
