Food & Drink

Around £2

Food Club

We are open every Saturday morning at Ash Grove Shops for anyone who needs a little extra help. Come along to see some friendly faces and collect some food to keep you going for a few days. We ask for a small donation of £2 to help cover some of our costs, but the food you receive will be worth much more than this. We welcome donations too. These can be dropped off whilst we are open on a Saturday morning. We accept long life food (e.g. tins and packets) and financial donations. We are grateful for support from New Ground, Awards for All, local churches, community organisations and many individuals.

Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical JR

Rebellion is nigh in Matilda JR., a gleefully witty ode to the the anarchy of childhood and the power of imagination! This story of a girl who dreams of a better life and the children she inspires will have audiences rooting for the ""revolting children"" who are out to teach the grown-ups a lesson.

More about Bastwell

Lancashire, England

Bastwell sits quietly in Lancashire with a charm that feels like a well-worn jumper on a rainy Tuesday. There are always local gatherings happening nearby to keep the village spirit alive without needing a megaphone. The community centre usually hosts something warm for families, while the pub down the road keeps things lively for those who prefer a pint and a chat. Near Here pulls these scattered bits of local life together so you never have to guess what's on in your own patch.
