I went to this place when it was a school... many many years ago! Fond memories. Quite a few activities happen here, and they are all worth visiting. On my last visit, it was to attend the artisan market. Many, if not all of the items sold here, are locally produced. If you are in the area on a Thursday, call in and enjoy a chat (and a cup of tea or coffee). You could buy one or two items to help you to remember your visit too 😀

Facilities are good... go here regularly for the Penistone Camera Club, so we have a room booked regularly. Always something going on in the evenings, from dog training to... well, Camera Clubs! :D
