Greetings, fellow adventurers and seekers of the extraordinary! Today, I invite you to immerse yourself in the enchanting story of Kelbrook, a hidden gem nestled on the Lancashire/Yorkshire border. This idyllic village is a haven of tranquility, surrounded by rolling countryside and fertile farmland that beckons explorers and nature lovers alike.
Kelbrook’s charm is not just in its breathtaking landscapes but also in the warmth of its villagers. Here, you’ll find a community that feels like an extended family, where friendly faces are as abundant as the green fields. As you stroll through the village, the air is filled with a sense of belonging, making every visit feel like a homecoming.
At the heart of Kelbrook stands St. Mary’s Church, a beacon of both spirituality and community engagement. Throughout the year, the church hosts a medley of events, from cosy coffee mornings to the magical Christingle, and the whimsical Carols on the Tractors – a unique celebration that’s as charming as it sounds.
The village hall is a hub of activity, where families and friends gather to create lasting memories. From throwback 80’s discos that transport you through time, to the thrilling village duck race and the artistic spectacle of the scarecrow festival, there’s always something exciting happening in Kelbrook.
What truly sets Kelbrook apart is the dedication of its villagers to preserving the village’s beauty. A passionate group regularly engages in litter picking and adorns the babbling beck with seasonal decorations, creating enchanting fairy trails and Halloween adventures for families to enjoy.
Kelbrook is not just a place; it’s a tapestry woven with love and dedication. One of its jewels is the Three Peaks Brewery, a family-run business that produces exceptional real ales. Chris, the artisan behind the brews, is always delighted to showcase his craft. Visitors to Ewe Time Holiday Barn, where we proudly collaborate with Three Peaks, can savour the ales from an honesty bar, fostering a sense of camaraderie.
And let’s not forget the delightful welcome basket at Ewe Time Holiday Barn, introducing you to the golden goodness of Bee Bee 8 Pure English Honey. Crafted from the blossoms surrounding Kelbrook, this exquisite nectar is produced at Throstle Nest Farm, adding a touch of local magic to your stay.
For those craving more of this delectable honey, Throstle Nest Farm has set up an honesty shop in the barn. Here, you can also indulge in the goodness of goats milk soap and lip balm, all crafted with care at the farm.
Art enthusiasts will find treasures at Kelbrook Pottery and the Studio 22b art gallery at Soughbridge Mill – the perfect spot to find unique souvenirs and take a piece of Kelbrook home.
For those seeking a bit of adventure, the Kelbrook Lodge Shooting School offers a fantastic day out with clay pigeon shooting, blending the serenity of nature with an adrenaline kick.
And let’s not forget Kelbrook’s own football team – Kelbrook Phoenix FC. Their home ground in Sough Park is just a stroll away from the barn. Join the community spirit and support them at their home games on Saturday afternoons. Kelbrook Phoenix FC organises events throughout the year, bringing the community together to raise funds for the club. The New Year’s Bash was a fantastic night, and guests from Ewe Time joined in the fun.
Wrap up your day with a visit to The Craven Heifer, a contemporary gastro pub in the village centre, or take a short 10-minute walk to The Stone Trough Inn. In Kelbrook, every corner has a story, and every story is worth discovering.
