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 Ewood

Lancashire, England

Ewood sits quietly in Lancashire with a view of the surrounding hills that makes even a rainy afternoon feel brisk and bright. The Blackburn Museum & Art Gallery has been showing off its collection for years, keeping history close enough to touch without needing a ticket queue. It is a proper local spot where you can spend an hour or two before heading home for tea. Pub dinners pop up on weeknights and the odd exhibition keeps things interesting for those who like looking at paintings. Near Here pulls it all into one place so you do not have to waste time hunting down what is open nearby. Not bad for a little town that punches well above its weight.
