Fantastic value for money. The staff are helpful and the cakes are just delicious. Lots of pottery items to choose from to paint, which look super after glazing. Great day out for all ages (granny aged 60 and youngest aged 5). We’ll definitely be back.

Set close to the Pennine Moors this Arts and Crafts house contains the largest public collection of Tiffany glass outside of America. A rolling programme of temporary exhibitions means there is something new to see each time you visit. The grounds feature a stunning rose garden, woodland, lawns and meadows and there is a fabulous woodland trail through the local nature reserve. Based in the house is the fabulous Gallery Kitchen specializing in Afternoons Teas, Brunch and a selection of Main Meals. With a licensed bar the Gallery Kitchen can meet most peoples needs.

A second visit for me to this lovely Arts and Crafts house with its artworks and the fantastic collection of Tiffany glass wares. We were lucky enough to be there when the curator was showing a group around and explaining the different techniques used as well as the history and the characters. The cafe is very pleasant and has table service and a good range of food and drinks available. There is no charge for entry but donations are welcome.

Went to the toddlers session today with my 3 year old little boy. He tends to be nervous about trying new things so it was no surprise that he got upset about not wanting to go on the trampolines. A member of staff, Paul, was absolutely brilliant with him. He offered to turn the disco lights off and put the lights on to give him a bit more confidence. He was very patient, positive and encouraging. After some persuasion my little boy went on and had a brilliant time with his friends. Thank you Jump Works and Paul, we will be back.

Many brilliant experiences from here. On Tuesday I tried out the new thermal suite. WOW, it's absolutely fantastic, what an amazing experience, so relaxing. Even though the pool was fairly busy due to a class being on and also ladies swim, there was still plenty of room to swim lengths if you wanted or a section just to be in the water casually. The new sauna and steam room facilities are a great improvement on what was there before, the changing rooms were lovely and there was somebody in regularly to squeegee excess water and have a clean around. Absolutely brilliant!!! I visit on a weekly basis with my 2 young boys for swimming lessons, their Instructors are absolutely brilliant, they are coming on with their swimming fantastically and I'm always at ease sat on the balcony knowing they are safe and are having fun whilst learning a much needed life skill. We go to adventure city often as well, this Includes both boys having a birthday party there and we have always found it amazing, the boys don't ever want to go to another play centre and they are already planning their next one there. We also attended the Halloween and Christmas party and again, they were both fantastic and I couldn't fault them.
