Oswaldtwistle Mill (in the North West) craft shop closing. 50% off everything.
Options
Purely by accident, whilst browsing the internet, I found out about Oswaldtwistle shopping mill. (Postcode BB5 3 DE) We live just over 30 miles away, and didn't know it existed. I was delighted to find out it had a craft shop, then disappointed to find out that the craft shop is closing.
We visited it yesterday. The sale started approx. a week ago, so there aren't that many dies or embossing folders left, but there's loads and loads and loads of other stock left. (It's quite a spacious shop.)The assistant told me it will prob. close in 2 to 3 weeks. I believe the only items that aren't reduced by 50% are die cutting machines (and I didn't notice any, apart from the machines they use in demos ) and Hornby railway stuff.
If you are in the area, it is well worth a visit.

Oswaldtwistle Mills has all sorts of different shops (like departments) inside, eg. Peacocks, Bonmarche, Pavers, The Works, and lots of others incuding eateries, furniture, bedding, curtains, aquatics, sewing centre and a sweet shop.
There's a wildfowl and picnic area that is lovely, and a 12 hole mini golf. I think there's a children's indoor play centre. Looking at their website, there is a family funfair on this Sunday 28th June, so it will prob. be very busy.
I enjoyed visiting and will go again. (and hope someone opens another craft shop.)0 -
Although I was delighted to find this craft sale, it is so sad that this shop is closing and staff losing their jobs. I hope they are able to find jobs, maybe in another of the mill shops.0
