Blakemere Craft Centre Sandiway Cheshire | Print |

Blakemere Craft Centre Sandiway Cheshire is in the heart of beautiful Cheshire countryside; a recipe of relaxed and unique shopping set in and around a beautiful Edwardian stable block and cobbled courtyard, home to numerous craft shops offering gifts galore, beautifully handcrafted either on site or around the world.

Events and Entertainment
There are various events held every weekend from antique and collector's fairs to farmers' markets, festive events over the Christmas period and activities during the summer holidays.

Don’t miss our exceptional Bird of Prey aviaries located in Cheshire Waterlife & Falconry and watch the unique flying displays performed between March and September each year. 

You can also enjoy wonderful craft activities for both adults and children, including pottery, greeting card making and chocolate making or enjoy a pre-booked tour of our working Brewery making traditionally crafted cask ales. Select from an assortment of craft supplies and discover your hidden creative talents.

Children aged between 1 and 10 can have stacks of fun in our Children’s Indoor Playbarn and party venue.

And when all that shopping gets too much, you’ll appreciate a welcomed break in our excellent family restaurant and coffee shop serving some of the best homemade food in Cheshire.
