The Barlow Edgworth

What a fantastic place to just chill out with a cup of tea or coffee, and there's also plenty of choices for something a little stronger. I didn't try the food on this occasion but the sandwiches and cakes looked very good and wholesome. The staff are always on hand to help and are very friendly. There are separate rooms for functions as well. They were still playing bowls outside, even though it was absolutely pouring down. If you walk around the back through some beautiful woodland, it eventually leads into jumbles country park. It's definitely worth a visit if you are ever in the area.

An absolutely fantastic place. I went with friends yesterday to support DropThe Floor. The volunteers are briliant, friendly and welcoming. The cafe had a very good choice of cakes and drinks. The sound engineering and lighting were superb, it was incredibly professional the bands sounded crisp. I am looking forward to visiting this beautiful venue again. Shout out to Paul the lighting guy and the sound crew.

We used The Barlow in March 2024 for our wedding. We wanted to celebrate locally and The Barlow was the perfect place for us. We chose the afternoon tea for our wedding breakfast and the food was perfect. The woodlands behind the building is a lovely place to have your photographs taken. Thank you to Jazz and the rest of the staff who helped the day run smoothly!

Lovely place to go and have some delicious food , with a seating area outside, watch the bowling on the green whilst relaxing

I liked this playground before it was done up as it was a bit more earthy. It also had THE best swings with super long chains. It's a trade off because the new slides are brilliant - the kids love them. The new swings are nowhere near as long or good though. Although there is a pretty cool what we call 'spiderman swing' one of those circular net things on a hanger that swings in all directions. Kids seem to scream alot on it, so I assume that means it's pretty good haha. The play area also seems to have got alot busier since the revamp. Still, it's a nice playground with some good walks nearby. Handy to have The Barlow Institute on site as it has loos and a small cafe serving drinks and cake.
