Top 32 things to do and attractions in Rochdale

Was looking for a pretty waterfall without too many people and we got what we asked for! The route isn’t the most well sign posted, luckily I had downloaded a map from Komoot beforehand so we did okay, however a few other people weren’t sure where to go either. (When you drive in and park, it’s best to walk back the direction you came in.) Some gorgeous spots here though so would definitely recommend. There was also a tearoom with a good menu which was unfortunately closed when were there, so we will be returning to try that out!

Fantastic place to go for a walk, Some amazing sights and a beautiful tea room, bar and bbq area. Prices for food was very reasonable although we just opted for toast (but it was really good toast). All in all a great way to waste a few hours, well worth the visit, will be returning soon with my grandson.

Visited 03/05/2025, decent amount of parking, the car park road area is patchy with pot holes so be careful driving. There is picture signs of the area opposite the tea room area, however unless you get a map or know the area the walks are not well sign posted which is why only four stars instead of five, if it hadn’t been for a helpful member of staff at the tea room who guided us to where the old munition buildings were to the rear we wouldn’t have then found the walk adjacent to the water stream that took us into lovely green areas for our walk. I’d say take walking shoes or wellies if doing this as plenty of muddy and rough path areas not suitable for shoes with no grips etc. If toilets required there is a couple in the heritage centre adjacent to the tea rooms, didn’t find any others around the area so plan if need to go or come back to if needed. I’d recommend if the work units near car park is open to go look and visit the items on sale, purchased a 3D printed octopus and a fridge magnet, great value and craftsmanship and the lady who first met us was very helpful as was the gent who came a little later. Worth a visit but do plan ahead as to route to take as once here it is hard to navigate without signs around the nature reserve. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our first visit. We parked jn the Healey dell tea rooms car park. We were given a map and off we went. It was a beautiful autumnal walk with a river, waterfalls and a duck pond along the way. The tea rooms were great, we would go back there again.

Wouldn't want to encourage too many visitors but what a stunning bit of nature, hills, resevoir and my favourite era for concrete - a bit of 60's dam building thrown in. Wow. Be nice to see the boat house turned into a socially run cafe.

Beautiful place, lovely walk with the family after Sunday lunch, there's a park , tea room,so relaxing. Beautiful views.

An intriguing historical place from the abandoned railway viaduct; remnants of a woollen mill to a munitions factory during WW11.. The extended area has many more places of interesting walks.

I've not been here since I was a kid, so I thought I would take my kids while we were in the area. It was a pleasant way to spend an hour. It was really relaxed with lots of things to see and read. The toilets are easy to access and really clean, earning an ooh from my Mom as she opened the door. The 1st floor has a really immersive experience for children. My teen commented that we had all found our places as my son played with the eco friendly toys, she did some craft, my mom looked at the prams and I sat on my bum surveying them all. We were made extremely welcome when we entered, never felt harassed and weren't followed around or watched constantly (though I suspect we were on cctv which I'm more than happy with). For the anxiety people, there are clear directions on what to do and where to go, approachable staff members, easy to find toilets and it was clean and well organised. I felt comfortable from the second I walked through the door to the second I left. Parking is easy in the multistory car park across the road.

Brilliant art gallery and museum in Rochdale. Great place to learn about the local history and famous people of the area. It's also got a cafe, shop and had a craft market in one of the rooms when I was there.

Beautiful old venue. Great staff. Current exhibition is Mischief by Liz Collins which is absolutely world class and a huge coup for Rochdale.

Great little museum. Interesting exhibits. Absolutely gorgeous cafe with great coffee.

I spent an hour and a half on a inspiring adventure with a good friend, neither of us to look at would give an impression of even being slightly interested in in art and local history but we were given a tour by a wonderful staff member unfortunately the uninterested man on the till was only giving us a suspicious eye but that aside Touchstone is a must for a great afternoon in Rochdale and the cafe is a whole review on its own

Love this place. Have been many time and will be going many more. lots of informative and interesting local history. welcoming feel with friendly atmosphere. I have been to several of the exhibitions held at touchstones and loved every one. Have visited with family children, pensioner's and when friends visit from out of town. Everyone would like to return. Lots to do. Lovely gift shop and you can also get something to eat and a decent brew.

A great museum with lots of interesting local heritage exhibits.

A nice little lake for an outing. It’s nice for a couple of hours and there are cafes and ice cream places around. There are also quite a few paid car parks available.

The lake was so picturesque sat watching the water sports while eating a massive Cod from the takeaway across the road, Parking was ok but the parking attendants were out in force issuing tickets for people failing to get back to their vehicles in time so be aware. The pubs are nice with great food but can be very busy, Its a great walk around the lake with of Ducks Geese and seagulls in abundance. Lovely day out.

First of all, Don't get stung if you can by parking in the pubs car park, there's one just after it which is half the price but normally pretty full so try to get there early to secure a cheaper spot!! Hollingworth lake is a great little spot with plenty of activities from Boat rides, Fishing playgrounds for kids and even hides for bird watching or photography. It took me about 2 hours to walk around completely at a slowish pace talking photos as I went even bumping into a fellow photographer for a chat. About half way round there's a little cafe with a seating area which is perfect if you take children with you to give them a break.

We enjoyed a brisk walk around Hollingworth lake earlier this afternoon, luckily the weather was quite kind with no rain and quite a bit of sun 🌞. Although in certain areas the paths had some quite large puddles from previous downpours and certain area's were covered in leafs so be careful under foot at this time of the year.

The Best Way To Have A Top Day Iut Enjoying The British Summer Out For Free! In This Countrysidish Quiet Little Place. FANTASTIC Day.

Brilliant place, great for walks and its like being at the Seaside would defo recommend it, excellent place

Beautiful lake for the walk cycling and rowing. Food and ice-cream shop is there in the carpark.

A lovely little museum explaining how the Co-operative movement started. Free to enter and friendly staff. Little gift shop and toilets 😊.

Small museum which is interesting providing background and history of the Cooperative movement. Friendly staff and clean toilets. Worth a visit if you’re visiting Rochdale.

Loved the layout of the museum very interactive for children and the dress up part is good aswell. Fun for both adults and children.

Arrived in plenty of time before closing but were made to feel unwelcome and they were closing early and a temporary sign was put on the door whilst we were in there saying they were closing even earlier. My mum is registered blind and there was so much text to read but she didn't feel comfortable asking the staff to give her information after our welcome. We probably stayed about 15 mins.

Visited a few weeks ago, on a Saturday, after a great tour of the Town Hall - to find it closed with a sign in the window. This is despite Google Website showing it to be open. Review reflects approach to customer service - perhaps take lesson from Town Hall organisers on when people are available & keen to see key aspects of Rochdale history?

Great space with loads of fascinating information about the Pioneers and the CO-OP There are interactive parts for small children and it was free to enter. Check the website to make sure they are open

Fabulous place. Pleasant, helpful staff. The experience stimulated many memories but also provided lots of new relevant social history.

Absolutely brilliant 😊 seeing the machines still running just shows how good the UK Engineering was, I would definitely recommend this as a trip into the past.

What a fantastic place - a real living museum where you step back in time to see the industrial powerhouse. All the volunteers were extremely helpful and had plenty of time to chat and talk about the engine. The cake was also nice from the cafe!

Great day out, very interesting & three steam engines not just the one

An excellent day out with the children. There's so much history and a working steam powered engine. £5 adults and children go free, all monies go towards the upkeep. A must see.

Excellent museum. Some great exhibits and the main steam engine is something to be in awe of.

Industrial history and well worth a visit when they are on a steam day, vintage land rovers on display were a bonus...

First time there interesting. I've now become a member at this Mill working on Steam days and none Steam days. Helping to rebuild another Steam engine. Working with the other members who are great to work with. Update come and Irene in steam. I'll be running her on May 5th Classic car show and bikes fun for all ages.

A lovely place for a walk. Clean, clear paths, information boards, a green area with a park, and benches. People living on the water in there boats. Plenty of free parking in the surrounding area.

I have been walking up and down this canal since i were a kid. I love it. However.... Trying to push my disabled daughter is seriously hard work. We get on at lock 49 and walk as far as i can. Today we actually managed to get to todmorden. It was fookin hard work.

Rochdale Canal is a hidden gem that offers a delightful journey through picturesque towns like Todmorden and Hebden Bridge. The scenic beauty along the canal is simply breathtaking, with charming views at every turn. Both Todmorden and Hebden Bridge are not just stunning but also offer fantastic dining options and ample opportunities to explore. From cozy cafes to scenic walking trails, there's something for everyone. I highly recommend a visit to this area for a perfect blend of natural beauty and great experiences. You won't be disappointed!

The Rochdale Canal is a great place to have a holiday Visiting all the villages, Sowerby Bridge, Luddenden, Hebden Bridge and Todmordan, when the water allows you A lot of fantastic boozers all along the canal and in the villages 🍻🍻👍🏻👍🏻

I ran this from Shaw to the city one morning and it actually felt fairly safe and clean. Judging by the street art and residents signs they want to keep it a nice place. It's very walkable and many people were riding to work along it.

Hi its really amazing walks around the canal and also very massive gardens and activity areas around the Hebden bridge Rochdale canal. Please see Hebden bridge canal video in my YouTube channel Farukh syed fitness first in your life thanks.

Very nice for a walk during summer. Nice and clean place always great for a short cut to places. A lot of dog walkers and cycling activities going on all the time.

Visited 03/05/2025, and seated in the attached outdoor covered seating area to the tea rooms not pre booked but luckily tables available when we arrived. Very helpful and courteous welcoming staff who even gave granddaughter a small chocolate egg and including the manager who made granddaughter feel very welcome and because ate all her dinner gave a sweet treat for after, fantastic service. I wasn’t able to take advantage of the afternoon tea they do as have to order 24hrs before, would highly recommend you do this as part of your visit to the Healey Dell area. The food came quickly and as you can tell from the pics posted were well presented, plentiful, tasty and great value, with the warm weather on the day the drinks that came with ice were lovely as was the hot drinks ordered too. Lovely atmosphere with everyone enjoying the food and service as well as location, highly accessible outdoor eating location and we saw a couple with an assistance dog with a water bowl whilst there which is great to see. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I've been coming here for years. It is a magical place. As you step through the doors, you are whisked back in time and served beautiful teas and well cooked snacks. The ambience is something else, it has such a comforting aura about the place. Staff are lovely and the place is dog friendly. Earl grey is really good from here as is the doorstop cheese on toast.

Rare to get good hot chocolate but it was great here. Quaint little tea room, not exactly to my taste in decor but the staff were accommodating and friendly. Local walks are fantastic too.

This is a quaint little place to come and have an afternoon tea, or a bite to eat after you have been for a stroll along the trails. I had the traditional afternoon tea and, whilst I think the food was good, I don't think it was necessarily good value for money. For one, there should be more sandwiches offered, especially if you are having it for two people. The service was very good, however, with staff being very attentive, friendly, and welcoming. That being said, there was an overwhelming scent of burnt fat pervading the air, which did not help one's olfactories, along with a rather dubious soundtrack of various jazz tunes, and other miscellany of music, being pumped into the air, which was an assault on the ears. The place has a lot going for it and I would go again, perhaps only to see what else is on the menu, but not for another afternoon tea.

My boyfriend and I decided to explore Healey Dell Nature Reserve for the first time – such a lovely spot! The tracks were clean and wide, and we came across some cute benches along the way to sit and take it all in. At one point, we found a flat open area with a few benches where a family was having a picnic and kids were playing with dogs – it was a really sweet scene. The weather was just right too – not too hot, not too cold, and a good amount of sun. About halfway through our walk, we stopped at the Healey Dell Heritage Centre & Tea Rooms. It’s such a charming little place. It was really busy (which is always a good sign!), and we were happy to wait for a table – love supporting places like this. We only stopped for a quick coffee break – I had a cappuccino and a slice of chocolate fudge cake, and my boyfriend had a black coffee. I wasn’t a fan of my cappuccino, and sadly the cake was really dry – tasted more like a supermarket one than something homemade. My boyfriend said his coffee was okay though. That said, the food on other tables looked great – proper chunky chips and big burgers. The building itself is beautiful inside, and it’s the perfect mid-walk stop for a drink and a break. They even had jugs of water with cucumber, which was a lovely touch. There was one slightly odd thing – an older man seemed to be hovering around the staff while they worked. We overheard some of his conversation and it came off a bit patronising – hopefully he was just trying to help, but the younger staff seemed like they were doing a great job on their own. Give them a chance! We also found a little art shop inside and were lucky to catch an artist named Mary working on a painting. She didn’t want to be photographed, but I did snap a picture of one of her artworks – really impressive stuff. You can buy her art on cute little keyrings and postcards for just £1! Overall, it’s a lovely, unique spot – very clean, with friendly vibes. Definitely worth a visit if you’re walking the reserve.

Really enjoyed our visit here after a nice walk. The food was delicious - we had a selection of deserts, tea, hot chocolates and coffees - every plate was left empty! Janka, who served us, was lovely and friendly. We will definitely be visiting again. Best scones I've had in ages!

Nice place with really good outside tables. Near the woods/waterfall and a lovely walk. Staff were good. Clearly all very young and inexperienced, but were very polite and friendly. I got the 'Angus Beef Burger' which according to the menu was 'A very tasty Angus beef burger cooked to perfection & served in a bap with cheese, tomato & onions. Plated with salad & a portion of chunky chips' The meat itself was nothing special, not juicy, and just an average frozen patty with no real flavour and not what I would call 'tasty' like the menu said. It was cooked, so not really sure what 'cooked to perfection' means? You can see from the cheese in the photo that it was either sitting under a heat lamp or put under a grill to melt the cheese which probably also dried out the burger further. It had far too much burger sauce in (which wasn't mentioned on the menu). Luckily I don't mind burger sauce (and it did help the burger go down!) but it was literally pouring out all over my fingers while I was trying to eat the burger and made a mess everywhere. (Either inform people on the menu you are adding the burger sauce or give it on the side, but it's not ok to add that much sauce under any circumstances) The chunky chips were good. Nicely cooked and fluffy in the middle. but the side salad that came with the burger was very old with lots of brown leaves, and did not look at all fresh. My wife had the club sandwich which was nice. A lot of food and nice fillings. Her side salad was nowhere near as bad as mine (perhaps came out of a different packet?) Strangely the crisps that came with her sandwich were rock solid and unpleasant to eat. We saw so many plates go past us with lovely looking sandwiches and toasties, so we clearly chose the wrong items from the menu! It's a real shame as on the menu their afternoon tea does sound really nice, but just not worth taking the risk of driving that far from where we live if it's not up to the standard we would expect.

Very beautiful place like heaven ❤️

Very nice place to visit. Stunning views! I went there today (23/04/25) and saw this poor sheep stuck in a ditch, amongst the branches. The ditch is behind the house, on the edge of the reservoir. Please can someone rescue it. I would have reported it to the officials, but there was no one there. Thank you.

4 reservoirs in one. Lots of trails and paths to walk. Can even get up onto the hills and walk across to knowl Hill or wartergrove reservoir in wardle. Can be lots of sheep about so be careful if you have a dog with you. Can see manchester city centre easily from the car park. Our favorite walk is from the car park, turn left at the first gate. It takes you all the way round the bigger 3. Roughly 6 miles back to the car.

Interesting drive up to the carpark, certainly needed to make use of the passing places! View from the start of the walk really impressive, can see the bigger reservoirs and lovely view of the wind turbines above on the hills. Takes a very gentle 2 hours or so to walk the circuit some steep steps through the wooded area to the south west but nothing too difficult. Worth the effort

Clean and well maintained. There are a few bins at each end of the reservoir and it's a very popular location for dog walking. Half the reservoir is clearly marked our with paths etc and the opposite side is a thin public footpath through farmers fields with a nice hidden waterfall

This is one of my favourite walks I’ve ever done, such a lovely place in the sunshine! Could stay here for hours I’ve done this walk a couple of times as I enjoy it so much!

I went on a miserable rainy day and still enjoyed the walk and atmosphere. Parks up at the Greenbooth Reservoir car park which is free but full of pot holes and the road up there a real car shaker. Can't wait to come again when the weather is better, more than likely going to be a 5 star place.

Looks absolutely amazing after going through renovations. Perfect for weddings. Registration setvice in the main hall looks amazing. Hall upstairs can hold a very decent wedding.

What an amazing building full of local history. I recommend the tour. Our guide, Richard was full of knowledge and knew every inch of the building. The restaurant is also fantastic serving some great food.

An amazing building reminiscent of a cathedral or stately home. In fact it was built to conduct the municipal business of Rochdale. Those Victorians certainly had style and verve

Rochdale Town Hall is a beautiful building with a fantastic atmosphere, the staff are extremely helpful and the restaurant is excellent.

Beautiful and historical building and now even better for being done up. With the paving and new plaza out the front, it's finally in the setting it deserves. The tour was fascinating, thoroughly recommend. It's going to be even more stunning when the gardens at the back and the town hall steps are finished. clock started again binging perfectly !

Amazing building well worth a visit. Guided tour is excellent

Fantastic! The tour with Ray was fascinating, he made everything interesting and memorable. The town hall really does have the WOW factor. Worth every penny of the tour price (£8). You can get tickets on their website. The car park was closed, parked in the shopping centre, ten mins walk. Highly recommend this tour.

What a lovely park, with winding paths good for walking. It has a pretty lake, plenty of bench and green grass. There's a cafe and plenty of playground equipment. Great place for families, and being alone too!

First time visiting this park, and the kids loved it. Easy parking on the road outside, though Limited, but there is a car park a bit further down the road. Great park for the kids with pirate ship climbing frame,swings, and more. A toddler park also and exercise apparatus for adults.There is a train that takes you around the park for £2 each, which the kids loved. Picnic benches and even a stage for the kids to show their talent on. Also, a bike track for budding bike riders who want more than an easy strole. The park has a tea room which serves hot food and tea.All around a well-kept and great little park.

Very nice park. Exercise equipment and climbing rigs for all. Bowling green if that's for you. Two play parks for younger visitors. Nice large pond to walk round. Lovely little tea room with snacks, ice creams etc. Very clean and well looked after.

Queens park is my Grandsons favourite park. It has The best cafe ( dog friendly) selling everything from breakfasts to ice creams ( Mr whippy 😍) the Cafe provides toilet facilities at the back. 2 Playgrounds one just for the little ones aswell as outdoor gym equipment. A fabulous lake to walk around whilst feeding the ducks, ( tip, buy your duck food at the Cafe its cheaper than the machine by the lake and you get more). If you don't fancy eating in the Cafe then get a takeaway, there's a huge field with a purpose built concrete all weather stage where the children can perform for you till their hearts content while you sit at a picnic table and enjoy your lunch. There are Tennis courts and a fabulous bowling green with benches all the way round to leisurely sit and enjoy the beautifully kept Gardens.

Beutiful park. Place to spend time with your kids. Also pleanty of well maintained areas to walk or ride bicycles. The small lake side is beutiful to spend your time. Highly recommend!

Runners try something different and seek out a run with a SELOC event on a weekend when it is organised. Great area and well planned course. Recent weather made it that more challenging in places. The CAFE has prices that take you back to a more affordable world. Dog friendly and a beautiful park on the first Saturday Sept 2025.

Lovely park, great surroundings and decent play area! Cafe was closed though so no refreshments or toilets were available!

I love the military museums, so today, I went to Bury. This is home to the Fusiliers Museum. A fantastic welcome from the member of staff on the desk. He spoke to my husband and our pal while I browsed the gift shop looking for a magnet. Please, guys, you need to get some with the name of the museum on 😊 Well, what a collection and what a building! Everything was spaced out nicely, no clutter that you find with these types of museums. Well done 👏 So much history to read and look at. I am so glad we went today, with being Easter weekend, it was quiet. We more or less had the place to ourselves, so we could take our time looking around. Once we had finished, we popped to Olive's for a coffee. The cafe is situated in the museum. Disabled access to each floor via a lift. Toilets are spotless, too. Please go and visit and take a walk around the well maintained garden of remembrance.

What a lovely museum. We went in the school break and kids got in for free 😊. Great things to look at and do. Has a little virtual shooting range for just £1 a go. Cute little shop too for little gifts. Lovely receptionist, very welcoming. If you are in bury must go here.

Fantastic visit! This is not a very big space but it is packed with interesting items. 3 floors! If you stopped and read everything, you could easily spend a day here. The entrance fee is under £5 and lasts for a year! Best value I have come across. I really did enjoy my experience here and wish I had had more time.

Fantastic museum telling the truly amazing over 300 years history of the Lancashire Fusiliers under its various different names. Fascinating collection of uniforms, medals and artefacts displayed with informative labels. The regiment were even awarded six Victoria Crosses in just one day during the dreadful Gallipoli Campaign. That is commemorated in the garden outside where there is also a WWI memorial that was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens who also designed the London Cenotaph. Excellent value and there's also a cafe on site.

Great history of the Fusilier regiment. Interesting information and pictures. The exhibits are broken up into eras and years and follows in order of conflicts.

Excellent museum ; you can easily spend an half day if you like to discover all the details. You find an historical side of the wars and warriors through the ages. There is as well often an exhibition about different topics, last time I've been in it was regards Kosovo 30 years celebration. The ticket entrance is for one year, you can go back whenever you wish within the year. There is as well a large memory shop and a restaurant.

Nice place. I’ve been a couple of times specifically for the comic con meet and greets held here but the actual museum is great to look at as well. The staff are very friendly and helpful. There is a café located upstairs above the entrance area.

Took my three-year-old son who is obsessed with fire engines at the moment. When we got there where we were Warmly greeted By so many members of staff working there, who went out of their way to speak to my little boy. They made it so special for him and there was so much for him to see and do. The staff are fantastic and couldn’t have been nicer. It is a little gem and we will certainly be back in the summer for the family open day :)

Absolutely fantastic trip xx staff were absolutely fantastic, so knowledgeable and passionate about the service xx this really is a must see xx

This Museum is filled with Fire fighting equipment dating back hundreds of years ranging from manual pumps right through to fire engines from the more recent era. The staff here a super helpful and brimming with knowledge. A great place for a young family to visit. There is also a great cafe in the museum with a range of food and drinks. A truly fascinating place.

A fantastic museum filled with interesting information and great examples of past firefighting equipment and machines. What makes it though are the staff and volunteers working there. They are happy to chat to you and give you more information and stories from their past. Well worth a visit!

Great interesting place if you like the history of fireengines and equipment. The staff are brilliant very knowledgeable and happy to help

Hidden gem in Rochdale. My partner and I visited on a Friday, early afternoon. All staff were so friendly and informative, the receptionist whose name I don't recall (sorry!) Les and David who shared so many fascinating facts and stories on our visit around. They are clearly passionate about this museum and the amazing history it holds. Highly recommended for families, but also for people interested in local history and culture.

Absolutely recommend a few hours here, if you are curious how firefighters have battled their way through history to rescue those in need there's plenty of stories and information here. The volunteers are more than willing to give historical stories and information, from the early days of insurance companies sending out flamboyantly dressed fire watchers right through to the heavily equipped major incident response of today. The museum is wheelchair accessible and there is a pleasant cafe if you need a brew or a snack.

Heaton Park is one of my absolute favourite places, and we’re lucky to live so close by. It’s somewhere we visit regularly—whether we’re out walking the dog or just enjoying a peaceful evening summer stroll. The park is absolutely beautiful, with wide open green spaces, woodland walks, and scenic views. The boating lake adds a lovely, peaceful touch, and there are two great cafés—one by the stables and another overlooking the lake—perfect for a warm drink or a treat. We always stop by the little animal area to see the goats, ducks, and our favourites—the gorgeous Highland cows. There’s also a brilliant bee house, which is such a nice surprise to find on a quiet walk. The park has two fantastic play areas too, great for families with children of all ages. You can really feel the history here—it’s like it’s locked into the soil and buildings around you. Heaton Park offers something for everyone: nature, history, animals, play, peace, and fresh air. It’s a true gem right on our doorstep, and I feel lucky to have it so close.

Love this place. Good for walks and bike rides. Lovely scenery. The fun fair was on when we went. There's a boat lake too and animals. From place to place there are ice cream vans. Will definitely be back here

Great park plenty of playground areas for the kids, lots of open space to wonder around, has a small farm, shops, cafe etc... Lake has rentable boats, we took out a peddle Swan with the kids which they loved. Good for a family day out or larger gathering

Great country park with plenty of parking. Two good cafes, boating lake, in the summer, small children’s animal farmyard and adventure playground with a large herd of highland cattle out on the pastures. Woodland walks and much more

Lovely clean park with plenty of beches to rest on and a great playground for the children. Farm animal area to visit plus boating lake and cafes. Met a friendly squirrel too! Places to walk and some joggers too. Worth a visit.

The nature was beautiful, but the park is really huge. As tourists, we felt it needed more signs and directions. We only learned about the lake and how far it was after asking, but we ended up spending two hours trying to find it

This is a wonderful park where there's something for all ages and you can spend many hours enjoying all there is to offer. Unfortunately so much of it is closed to the public. Heaton Hall and the Orangery are impressive but closed. There's also the restored tramway and old shelter, now a museum, also closed with no trams running. Even the colonnade of the former Manchester Town Hall is fenced off. There is though a lovely children's animal farm and a playground as well as a cafe in the old stableblock. Several Pals battalions gathered here in WWI and aircrew in WWII. The Somme monument is poignant. There's the historical Dower House, Grand Lodge and Temple to see and the lovely boating lake and Highland cattle in the park. It's good to see that it's also used for various events; food and drink, fairs, concerts etc.

Enjoyed a visit here as part of a trip to East Lancs Railway. Well laid out exhibits with information on each which was easy to read. Everywhere was disabled accessible. All the volunteers were most helpful. An hour is plenty time to have a good look around but well worth a visit.

Spent £8 for me and my daughter to enter. Lots of old cars, few trains and trucks. Annoyingly every train and bus is closed off, so you can't have a look inside, the interactive puzzle board in children's area doesn't work, the information TV doesn't work and the miniture railway has 1 train running. Left after 15 minutes with an unhappy and disappointed child who wanted to go on some old trains. Bottom line not worth the money.

Very good museum, well laid out and organised and lots of exhibits packed into the place. Value for money was terrific and so was the range of vehicles on display. You had everything featured from a steam train, to a double decker bus, a traction engine right down to a bicycle. Couldn't fault the variety on offer. Only negative point was the uneven cobbled flooring, it would be difficult for elderly and disabled people to navigate their ways around. Apart from that, superb.

Absolutely super find for a family day out! £13 Entry for a Large Family! Or Free if you have tickets for the Heritage Railway. Warm and Informative Greeting from the 2 Volunteers on Reception - lots of leaflets and tips as we looked round. Easy to find, well signed from Bury main roads and large free car parking. Excellent facilities for wheelchair users (although a lot of the groundwork is cobbled they have laid heavy matting downstairs and have 2 Lifts, Immaculate Toilets and upstairs all wheelchair friendly with wide spaces) Super interactive area upstairs for the children of all areas including toys, learning hot spots (press, twiddle knows etc) and dress up area. Although a lot of the exhibits you can't go in due to conversation, you can go right up to touch them, read the info and take photos. Children are encouraged to go into the buses and have a drive! Highlight of our day was the Mini Model Railway and the volunteer who explained its history! Fantastic Way to spend a couple of hours emerged in History. Learning and spending some family time. A Big Thank You to all the volunteers who keep everything immaculate, give such good infomations and warm greetings You are Angels! Especially the chap who has restored the Grey Tractor <3

Visited June 2025 An excellent little museum, full of transport exhibits with a local feel. Locomotives from the Lancs and Yorkshire Railway, buses from Bury and Bolton, and whole load of other stuff. It's situated in an old engine shed close to the East Lancs Railway, and is quite the little gem. There's no charge if you have an East Lancs Rover Ticket, but I got the feeling that the entry fee would be reasonable if you were buying that alone. The guys on the door, the local were a hoot and made us very welcome. Highly recommended.

Very nice for visit 👌 and my kids Very happy..Very nice staff

Fantastic museum, lots to look at, very interesting if you are into railways. Old bus there too. Across the road is the East Lancashire Railway which is a superb preserved railway with plenty of events all year. Check out the website. Events for kids in the museum also throughout the year.

Tandle Hill Country Park is a beautiful escape from the city with a mix of woodlands, open fields, and well-maintained walking paths that make it ideal for families, dog walkers, and anyone looking for a peaceful day outdoors. The views from the top are especially rewarding, offering a wide panorama across Greater Manchester and on clear days even stretching towards the Pennines. The park feels safe and welcoming, and there are plenty of benches along the way to stop and enjoy the scenery. It is also a great spot for children, with lots of space to run and explore. Whether you want a relaxing stroll, a picnic with friends, or a brisk walk to get some exercise, this park offers a little bit of everything.

We Had a lovely afternoon walk around Tandle Hill Country Park today. The kids had a great time exploring the woodland trails, plenty of space to run around, climb, and discover little hidden spots among the trees. After a good wander, we stopped off at the playground areas, which were well-maintained and had a nice variety of equipment for different ages. There’s a charming little café near the entrance where you can grab toasties, ice creams, and a selection of hot and cold drinks. It’s a great spot to take a break and refuel, especially if you’ve been walking for a while. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. Parking was easy there’s plenty of space, and it’s free, which is always a bonus. We spent a couple of hours here and could easily have stayed longer. Some parts of the park are so peaceful, especially deeper into the woods, where you can just sit quietly and listen to the birds and rustling leaves. It’s a lovely escape from the hustle and bustle. Highly recommend for families, walkers, or anyone looking for a bit of fresh air and nature. We’ll definitely be back!

A lovely big place to come and have a walk, people you pass are friendly, dogs seem to enjoy the freedom of running and chasing balls etc.... plenty of different routes you can take to walk around also, big well established trees and you can walk up to the monument at the top and see for miles around. We have a tree planted here for my late brother in law, when it was done the ground staff were amazing, very respectful, especially when it came to spreading his ashes.

Country park in Royton with toilets, picnic areas, playground and cafe (only open weekends which is a shame) There's a largish car park but also parking on the approach road (if there's space).Lots of routes that are colour coded. Some are quite steep but if you have the strength to push a pram/wheelchair uphill the trails are wide and in good condition - mainly tarmac or hardcore. There are plenty of narrower trails off these for the more adventurous.

Found this park late in the evening and visited for the reported Pennine views. The park itself is really unusual, very up and down but largely on smooth surfaces. We went up some stairs to reach the top and were greeted with a mega view back over Manchester and the surrounding countryside. Great place to see a sunset (we caught the end of it), with a couple of places to sit and take in the views from. Worth a trip.

Such a lovely place for hiking and walking. If you want to have the feel of being in the forest it's one of that spots near Manchester. Really enjoyed there with friends and family.

Lovely walk around Tandle Hill this afternoon, kids enjoyed the woodland then stopped off at the playground areas. Nice little cafe, can get toasties, ice-creams and hot & cold drinks. Plenty of parking. We had a good couple of hours here. So lovely and peaceful in areas and just sit and listen to the wildlife.

On the ground floor is a bright and welcoming public library with a smattering of users. The galleries are upstairs and on our visit deeply disappointing. Viewing stuffed birds and animals is neither art nor culture. There was a small section explaining the local suffragette movement which gave the experience its second star.

Gallery Oldham - A great place to discover beautiful art and historical objects What is Gallery Oldham? Gallery Oldham is an art gallery that is located in the heart of Oldham. It holds a variety of exhibitions and galleries that look at art in different ways including portraits,sculptures, posters and historical items. It currently holds the following Exhibitions and Galleries which are: Gallery 1 - Oldham Stories Gallery 2 - Finding the Funny: Sam Fitton Gallery 3 – Tony Husband Gallery 4 – Robert Lees: Oldham in the Countryside Exhibitions Visited Oldham Stories This was a great Exhibition that showcased interesting items giving a historical insight from the past to the present. This includes a vast array of objects from various collections at the Gallery. This included the National History, Social History and Art collections. Some of the items that were on display included The Rothwell Car, Jewellery, and specimens of taxidermy. These items were interesting to look at with a great story behind each object. The Natural History Collection was beautiful. It was lovely to see a large range of habitats that can be found in Oldham. This included owls, foxes, badgers, birds and swans. Finding the Funny: Sam Fitton Sam Fitton started his career in the textile mills before becoming a skilled illustrator, poet, dialect, writer and performer. This Exhibition was engaging as you saw Sam’s various works from cartoons that he drew in the newspaper The Cotton New Times. It also brought nostalgia in the adverts that he did for famous brands including Macintosh Toffees and other products. It also gives an outlook on how he used different dialects in his writing. His art work is also thought provoking in highlighting the issues of mill workers. This Exhibition was brilliant showing how Sam used different art means in order to earn a living. Inspiring. The interactive element of this Exhibition which is the badge making for a mill worker was fun, educational and made you think out of the box. Facilities Gallery Oldham has a café however it is currently temporarily closed. However there are a few cafes nearby that you can go to after your visit. There are toilets on the premises. Pricing It is free to visit Gallery Oldham. Parking There is no designated car park for this Gallery however there is a nearby car park that is pay and display. This is free for Blue Badge holders. What was good about Gallery Oldham? There is a great variety of objects that are full of history. Each Exhibition is engaging and is full of beautiful artwork that is beautiful. There are some good interactive activities to enhance your visit What could have been improved at Gallery Oldham? There could have been some background music Some of the habitats and art works did not have good descriptions so more detailed ones would be helpful.

You can find the a good collection of art 🎨 classic and contemporary painting, ceramic and some museum articles. The Gallary hold exhibitions for local artists some regular and some special. Which encourages local artists when these events are done. To get to it is a bit not easy because the traffic in Oldham and especially in that area is not easy to negotiate whoever there is a free parking 🅿 there for enough time to explore it. The metrolink is not far from it. If have time you can check the library which is in the same building

Both a gallery and library, this place has been a staple in the town of Oldham for as long as I can remember. The library has a good spot to take little kids to read, it also occasionally offers events to do here. The gallery is a good place to learn about the history of the town as well as offering actual art to view. There is also a lovely bit about bees with a sofa and a small table full of things for kids to do to learn about bees as well as an actual bee hive on the landing (outside).

Many congratulations to all responsible at Gallery Oldham for the truly brilliant Pick and Mix and Pedestrian exhibitions. Both of the highest quality in all creative and execution aspects

Small but nice to have a real gallery in Oldham. They do lots of community displays which is good. Great views from here also.

It's well worth visiting this museum and art gallery. Interesting displays and a nice atmosphere.

Close to Bestwood village, the free car park offers space for around 50 vehicles. As you exit the car park you can see the historic bestwood colliery (now a museum item). Plenty of trails to travel that provide interesting walks. Only criticism would be lack of bins (for dog poo!).

Parking - Free parking no charges or tickets needed Commuting - notts connect buses run right next to the entrance Playground - Good quality but more suited to ages 6-16 Walk - the walk from the main entrance to the playground is nice but also becomes a small hike up the hill, the nature is beautiful and it is nice, to get back if you go down towards the toilets it will take you to the main road and will take around 15-20 minutes walk. Overall - it’s a great place to go just needs to be more suitable for younger ages.

Bestwood Country Park is one of the hidden gems of Nottingham. With well posted trails, picnic spots, children's play area, and dedicated bridleways it's a charming place for hikers, riders, joggers, dog-walkers and nature enthusiasts alike in any season of the year. Cherry on the cake is ample free parking on site. A caveat: the toilets inside the park are rarely open for public.

Visited here for the Saturday morning 9am parkrun. There was plenty of free parking in the main carpark at 8:40. Its a fairly well attended event and well marshalled. The route has 2 big hills, which are not for the faint hearted, however the paths are wide enough to pass if needed. Overall a great venue with good views near the end.

Unfortunately the playground is the top of a hill which made it difficult to get to with the pushchair (the “path” is mostly rocky and muddy, with some big hills). Because of its position, it was also super windy so we couldn’t stay long. The park was ok, it is more suited to older children who can balance. The scenery is beautiful and the walk was out of the elements for the most part. It was just extremely difficult with a pushchair so we won’t be returning until we no longer need the buggy. Great that the parking is free (we parked in the Park Road car park).

Great place to visit if you're after a proper woodland walk. There's a nice mix of easy gravel paths and more adventurous ones though thicker woodland to enjoy. The terrain is quite steep at times though, so it wouldn't really be suited to anyone with any sort of mobility issues. There's also some great open spaces where to can take in the views. I didn't make it to the lake today, but I'll be back very soon to check that out. You could easily make a full day out of visiting here and discovering all the different areas of the park.

One of the best if not the best country parks in Nottingham lots of amazing views and scenery and a lot to explore in the forest there is a lot of trails around the woodlands which make a great spot to walk your dogs go for a walk or even a bike ride and there is also one of the first dual coal mines which has been restored and lots of information about the old coal mining which went on at bestwood country park before it was turned into a country park there is also a viewing point which you don't see too often anymore which over looks bulwell moor bridge and hucknall with some stunning views especially in the rare sunny weather we get in the UK. Best wood country park is also very close to mill lakes which is a must to visit if your planning on coming to bestwood country park if your interested in seeing some pictures about mill lakes I recommend viewing my reviews as I've visited quite a few places and took some amazing photos.

Went to watch the animal guys here,the show very good but aimed at children aged about seven years upwards, it was very informative and entertaining as well and told the story of how we should protect our planet and do what we can to help protect our animals from going extinct. There was a lot of 2,3 and 4 year old but they were far too young for this show .

The Arena is modern in a strategic location and with good parking facilities. It is an ideal spot for community social interactions and relaxation. The bar area is spacious and well attended by locals and the lobby areas well designed for aesthetics and comfort. The gym is well equipped and the sports halls and courts are clean, modern and well appointed. I really enjoyed my visit in support of my granddaughter celebrating her birthday with school mates. Great venue.

I've been here a couple of times to watch shows - Oliver, Kinky Boots and the most recent Nativity the musical. All productions have honestly been amazing. The view from every seat is good and I will be watching more performances here in the future.

The FOH crew were brilliant with is for a recent boxing event I live streamed. Solid Internet connection and really helpful techies made it a super experience behind the scenes. Cheers to Adam and Heather for their help with the event!

Absolutely fantastic night, great show

For a small arena of 500 seats. This place is absolutely amazing. Middleton Arena always put on great shows. Also have top names on there at times.

Alex and Alex were amazing and with supporting with the event over this weekend. Very supportive and friendly, they were very approachable and accommodating to the team. Thank you so much Alex and Alex

Home of the rochdale football club. The Dale. Nice stadium with bar and food located in the stadium. The family stand has a kids area called Desmond den, with 2 ps4 for the kids to use as well as activities. Staff are friendly. A great place to be when the Dale are playing good. There is a all small weather pitch outside the stadium where there is football coach and children can play a quick game of football. There is parking at the stadium and loads of places to park on the side streets.

Was very upset here asked not to use a lense on my camera, said I could use a small one although I'm allowed it in other grounds I did argue my phone has a larger zoom but I can't hold it up for long too thin.i changed to a 35 mm which was a waste of time but tried it anyway then the Supervisor who love to argue told me I had to stop. I am disabled and it's my hobby for my own use.. Won't be going back

Stadium is overall a decent stadium. What you’d expect from a non league football stadium. Food was above average with the pies being a clear highlight of the visit. Atmosphere was decent, with your typical football fans with a suitable amount of security. Would overall place it as a decent standard stadium.

Shame the pitch is unplayable sometimes at Winter months....but, a great family centred club. Well done Rochdale

Had to travel there by tram and bus because there was no train available due to a fault as an away fan. The result unfortunately was close and lost 2-1 to the Dale.

A nice friendly Football club, you won't be disappointed visiting The Dale and there's never been a better time to come to Rochdale, so come and feel the Dale Experience.

Good food options at half time, £3.80 for a pint, and a friendly atmosphere. Up the Dale!

Went to see daughter at a dance showcase. Nice little theatre attached to a school.

Today the panto was fantastic. The cast were perfect in their interaction with the audience and themselves. The atmosphere was great. Audience participation spot on. If you can catch it before the end of the run

Good sized hall.seats are a bit crammed causing your knees to touch front person head can be inconvenience if you are tall. Snacks in breaks could be more variety. First time visitors can find the place confusing as directions not so clear.

Sat nav postcode takes you to an entrance that is sealed and gated, so you have to drive back down the road and onto the next street to get to the parking area, large parking area. Attended a school concert, so was quite busy, large auditorium and plenty of leg room at the seats.

First time last night we’ve been to the theatre for the pantomime we had a super time, me my grandchildren and daughter really enjoyed it Highly recommend going over Christmas great family pantomime superb cast too 🎅🏻🤶🏻🌲

Comfortable venue, providing some good shows. Not the largest theatre in the world, but very reasonably sized. Going here to see a show wouldn't be a wasted night.

We go every year for the Christmas pantomime and its always a good show. The theatre staff are always very friendly and welcoming too.

A beautiful Norman church set in it's own well maintained gardens. We were fortunate to visit on a quiet day and were treated to a mini tour by Glen, one of the extremely knowledgeable volunteers. We were fascinated to learn about the church's history and thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon. Highly recommended!

Absolutely stunning church. I performed with Rock Choir here on Saturday 22nd September. Amazing experience!

St Leonard’s Church in Middleton is a beautiful historic site with stunning architecture and a deep connection to local history. The church’s unique wooden tower and ancient stained glass windows add character, while the peaceful atmosphere makes it a good place for quiet reflection. It is well maintained and welcoming, but visitor hours are limited, so plan ahead if you want to explore inside properly. The church’s significance in the community and its rich heritage make it worth a visit when in the area.

Photos taken today during Open day. Fantastic history, stained glass windows and superb woodcarved panels and great local family lineages..

Nice and quiet place, thanks God!

Stunning historic church and every Friday there's a free guide inside the church about all the historical features and history

Lovely historic church. Having alot of restoration work done at the moment. Well worth a visit

Such a beautiful place. Well worth a walk up to the top. You can see all the resivours in the surrounding areas. There's free parking and plenty of signs.

I had an incredible experience at Blackstone Edge! The natural beauty of this place is absolutely breathtaking. The panoramic views from the top are stunning, and the hiking trails offer a perfect adventure for nature lovers. It's a peaceful and serene spot to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Whether you're a hiker or just looking for a place to unwind, Blackstone Edge is a must-visit destination. I highly recommend it!

Lovely part of the world. Amazing walks, views and natural beauty. Love popping in to The White House to grab some lovely food and drink. Caught some amazing sunsets here, with views over Lancashire and Greater Manchester. Top place to get away for a few hours from the hustle & bustle of the smog-filled and rat trodden city...

Great place for a walk or bike ride the area is wide open and in the summer the views are awesome. In the winter months it is very windy and cold but is a great place to visit whatever the weather.

Beautiful for a hike alone, with the dog or with the family. There’s plenty of places to park around, and a beautiful scenic road for driving/cycling. If you decide to go on a cold/windy/rainy day like I did then dress appropriately because it can get cold up there. 🥶

A fairly easy hike from Hollingworth Lake, bag the trig!

What a great place to walk! You can certainly be walking for hours if you choose, lovely views, fairly easy for older people too! As you can see, I've added a few pics for your perusal.

I completed the Becoming Independent climbing course at Peak Climbing School this weekend, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. From start to finish, the experience was incredibly well-structured, supportive, and empowering. George our instructor was highly knowledgeable but also genuinely passionate about climbing and teaching. He created a safe and encouraging environment that allowed us to push our limits while building confidence in our own abilities. Every session was hands-on, practical, and tailored to our pace, ensuring we fully understood the techniques and safety protocols. By the end of the course as an older participant being new to outdoor climbing, I felt completely equipped and confident to climb. We covered everything from rope work and belaying to route planning and risk assessment for rigging. The progression was natural and never overwhelming, and the feedback was always constructive and motivating. The Peak District setting added to the magic—stunning views with real rock experience. I can’t recommend this course enough—it was a fantastic experience!

Amazing weekend out on the Roaches with Peak Climbing School's Introduction to Rock Climbing course. If you're looking to get started with climbing then this is exactly what you need. Michael the instructor was brilliant - friendly, knowledgable and patient and tailored the course to meet individual needs. I left after two days feeling so much more confident. Looking forward to getting booked on the next course soon!

We had two brilliant days with our instructor Matt on the Mountain rope work scrambling course in Wales last week. Despite the testing british weather conditions we learned so much! Matt tailored the course to our previous experiences, was so friendly, patient and encouraging and taught us the important skills we need to climb safely and also make our own decisions. We both gained so much confidence moving in the mountains using ropes, got loads of advice about routes and equipment and now we can't wait to get out practicing new skills! We're already thinking about booking another course with Peak climbing school and will definitely be recommending this one to others. Thank you so much!

I’ve just been on Trad Learn to Lead course hosted by Nick; my third occasion of coaching / training from Peak Climbing School. During the course I’ve developed my climbing skills and learned new techniques. Course was tailored to suit my current level and enhance my climbing. Nick’s expertise and approach to climbing tuition made for a highly enjoyable 3 days. I’ve now got the knowledge and experience to continue on my climbing journey and will definitely be back to Peak Climbing School when I’m ready for further coaching to improve my climbing grades. Highly recommended

Recently did the becoming independent course and had an amazing time. Nick is an incredible instructor who was really friendly, very experienced and knowledgeable. I recommend anyone who is interested in taking up climbing to do this course

Having just completed the Becoming Independent Course, I cannot recommend the Peak Climbing School enough. Our instructor, George, was really friendly, knowledgeable and patient. He took the time to get to know everyone and then tailored the course, so we all got what we wanted out of the weekend. As well as learning a lot of new skills, George's tips and pointers over the weekend have helped improve my general climbing ability as well. I will definitely be using the School again for future classes!

I’ve just completed the Peak Climbing School’s Learn to Lead Trad Climbing course and I can’t recommend it highly enough. I was in two minds about whether I wanted to learn to trad climb (mainly out of fear) and this weekend has completely transformed my attitude. Our instructor Stu made us feel so relaxed and comfortable throughout and helped us to feel ready to be independent and find and lead our own trad routes in the future. We’ve had a lovely weekend and the progression in this course was ideal - it was completely tailored to our ability and what we want to learn, and the balance between keeping you feeling safe and confident to letting you try things for yourself and learn by doing was perfectly stuck. A huge thank you to Stu and the team and we hope to see you again in the future!

First time at this theatre. Really enjoyed the play was surprised what a great little place and atmosphere. Nice little bar for half time drinks. And they're looking for volunteers for everything worth considering

Great play very well performed by the 4 cast my …… ( how do they remember their lines ! ) and thanks to the set designers and other volunteers with a special mention for the security guard on the car park. Oh and a nice glass of Merlot for only £3 what’s not to like. 👍

Just watched the production of Kiss Me Like You Mean It. Absolutely fabulous! Great acting. This place is a hidden treasure, small but good value bar, great atmosphere, wonderful night out.

Went to see Oliver last night 29th October, the cast were outstanding. I loved every minute of it. Well done to you all for putting on a great show.....

Play was good ,bottle beers pricey 3 pound a bottle ,warm beer as well ,stairs steep which I wasn't aware of ,did have a stairlift though .,also a big smell of damp

I watched my daughter school performance yesterday. Small theatre, small car park. Place has something ....because after good renovation would be really amazing 👏

I’m really excited to go here! I’m still a child but this is my dad’s account and he told me to make a review so here I am! I’m going here in July to do an opera and im really good at the opera! I’ll edit on 3rd July!

Hare Hill House & Grounds has plenty of history / from Water Wheel / Monkey Grave, ground floor rooms only used for few meetings throughout the week.

A fabulous community space, gorgeous building, brought back to life by an army of civically minded volunteers.

Went to spiritual event to raise money for charity. Good food and event. Locals are trying to repair and improve the premises.

I don't hate this place. It is the fact it is misnamed:((( Hare Hill House, the old Littleborough council offices is now a charitable local amenity for various groups. The place I visit is Littleborough Library, attached to the big house, but still owned by Rochdale Council. It is a glorious little building with stained glass windows. It is well run, friendly and welcoming. As well as a library, it hosts various group activities such as craft, art and some U3A groups. If you are new to the area, it is a great place to get to know people and find out about local amenities. Added to its charm is its location...Hare Hill Park, a little Victorian gem with wonderful views of the surrounding Pennines.

Yoga with Sue every Friday at 10:30am is really wonderful. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time there the last few weeks. The view from the house is so tranquil through the big bay windows.

The group now running the house are a great bunch who are very knowledgeable regarding the house and the history of littleborough. There is events held here over the summer especially and it's worthwhile a visit.

We go every week and love it. It's interesting the things they have there and also we have I lovely meal there every week so thank you very much for an enjoyable time x bill and gwen

Gorgeous gallery with a fascinating exhibition. We got chatting to the artist who told us all about the various pieces. Lovely selection of little gifts and cards, and a fab tea room. Will definitely be going again!

Our regular Saturday breakfast treat. Great staff, lovely food, well priced

Lovely little information centre. Worth a visit especially if your going walking as they sell local routes x

A beautiful building with wonderful cafe. The food is well cooked and fresh and the staff pleasant and helpful. There can be a struggle to get a table as it is only a small area. It can also be hard for parking. There is a small shop with local crafts and information and a spacious events room.

Used the cafe side only but it has a great ambience and good priced food. Recommended.

The Cherry Tree Tea Room here is a hidden gem. Brilliant breakfasts and a good selection for lunch, the portions are spot on and the quality of the food is second to none. On warmer days you can sit outside in the sun! The service is friendly, welcoming and accommodating and they are also breastfeeding friendly, which is a big plus for a new mum like me. A perfect place to relax. Absolutely recommend!

Out on a cycle ride up the nearby Rochdale canal and came across this little gem. Excellent food 😋good service and just lovely help full Staff. Now on our list as go to stop on our cycle trips well worth the detour visited 30th June.

A Fantastic Way To Remember One Of Rochdales Most Iconic Females ... No Other Female In Rochdale Will Be Able To Recreate What She Did And Accomplished... A True Legend Of Rochdale

Lovely

Nice place

Large shop and usually well stocked, it’s not unusual to have a long queue as staffing isn’t always generous at busy times. Beware of parking on this retail park, there is a time limit before you get fined and it isn’t particularly generous

Shopping choices OK, but some items not priced properly on shelf. Got to till and only 1 person on customer service desk serving a long queue. He called for extra till staff but no one came. Queue grew to about 7 customers ( most with full baskets). A second request for extra till staff was eventually successful when a reluctant member of staff sauntered across the shop floor. You make your money at the till, so you need staff at the till! I'm quite patient but nearly gave up waiting to be served.

Hands down this is the best one ive been too personally! Big store with a large craft section and plenty of items in store! Staff also polite, friendly and willing to help! Rochdale is my 'go to' store as the availability with items is endless!.

Purchased some great Xmas ornaments could of bought a lot more I was a bit spoilt for choice. The only negative would be the battery operated ornaments can be operated via mains adapter but this is sold separately much more economic than buying batteries. As I am disabled we took a break and had a lovely burger and cup of tea at the upstairs cafe accessible via the lift for people in a wheelchair or other disabilities. The staff was very helpful, parking for blue badge holders and a large parking area for other motorists a very pleasant shopping trip.

Staff are nice but the store is a mess. Half the products don't have the price near them, products are often broken and it's guess work figuring out what your total price will be.

Nice store with cafe and garden centre. Set over 2 floors with lift or stairs to upper level ( lift is often broken down though ). Large range of products ranging from pens up to furniture at good prices. Purchased my suite from here and it seems really good, I had my doubts about the quality because it was so cheap!! Free parking. Toilets. In the middle of renovations at the moment.Halloween now in stock, also instore new podium with hundreds of items that you can order and pay for and have delivered to your door.

A very nice store which sells home furnishings, material, paint, plants, electrical items and even sweets. There is a nice little cafe upstairs that has a selection of tasty bites to eat.A great place to visit, however try and avoid the weekends as the car park gets very congested. 👍👍👍👍

Service was spot on, lot of people hanging around the bar in a group made it difficult to get you drinks, loads of space on tables etc. Sat outside with a couple of drinks and it was nice.

A very good local pub, but can be taken over regularly by kid parties so you may turn up and have to sit outside in Summer or go elsewhere on winter.

Visited today for the first time with my wife and son. Nice local pub, friendly staff and great beer. Will definitely recommend.

Based on my personal preference, it's not a place for young decent people although the place is well arranged.

Always excellent welcome very helpful young Value, Tom and even younger Deano - all Bar stewards are most awesome even Karen! Cracking pub, fantastic host's and amazing food & drinks deals. Thanks

Cozy local. Some characters frequent it but decent atmosphere. Does lots of stuff for kids and families. Holts usually deliver a nice pint. Avoid the Diamond if not used to a strong pint 🤣

Really nice pub went to meet a work colleague &hubby 2b with my beloved Excellent beer well set out outside staff absolutely fantastic would I return yep definitely

Very bad stuff👎👎 very bad company as well

Well in one trip I bagged £90. Granted the lady who was working was very slow and quite rude told me i had to wait.... Was fully aware there was a queue

My mum managed this site for32 yrs not a bad word to say new owners have revamped the decor looks great

Be careful not to play any £500 jackpot machine for too long - the odds will go against you!

Staff are really nice been into day 10/10 good place to go for abit.

not a bad place for a little flutter as long you no when to stop free tea and coffee while you play staff are great

A great atmosphere and staff are just amazing. They do credit to the business

Brilliant shop always get something a but different plus Angela is very helpful

Number Ten is a one stop shop for unique gifts and cards for every occasion. I never fail to find the perfect gift.

The lady in the shop was sooo very helpful with top quality goods for special occasions

Visited for the first time today. Lovely shop with unique cards and gifts. Will defo visit again

Fabulous shop lots of unusual gifts and lovely cards Plus lovely jewellery.Go in and explore this wonderful shop.

Excellent as usual, good quality cards and gifts.
