From falconry and hand crafts, this is a great place to visit and spend a few or more hours wondering around. Lots to see and do. Some antiques / vintage stalls a little pricey but otherwise on point. There's a lovely ceramic, paint your own centre. The cafe was okay. Public loos very basic but clean. Kids entertainment in the centre. And I believe they hold events too. Note there's a free carpark but the area is not totally flat, the site itself is on levels but there's no steps to navigate that I remember, other than a few doorways to step up to or over. Free to enter the msin areas. Falconry has a charge as you would expect. There's a name change to Blakemere Village, rather than Blakemere Craft Centre.

Lovely Halloween trail- interactive for the children- food is very expensive so I'd advise a picnic or bank loan

A lovely place to visit. There is something here for all the family from Gift Shops and Antiques Shops to a Children's Fair and a Falconry. The Coffee Shop in the Courtyard is very good and there are plenty of parking spaces. The Village is easy to navigate and there are plenty of directional signs.
