Samlesbury Hall, Blackburn

July 26, 2009 | Posted by Wendy

(Sharp intake of breath)… what a fabulous place Samlesbury Hall is! I was there today, with a stall at their monthly Farmers’ Market and Craft Fair, and what a fabulous venue. Comfy, beautifully upholstered chairs behind each table, clean loos with leather armchair, posh soap and hand lotion, reduced prices on food for stallholders (delivered to you), and just a fabulous setting: beautiful, historic building with intricate carving, amazing stained glass windows, fireplaces you could house a small family in. Amazing. Oh, and really fabulous customers and staff too!

You really must visit if you get chance! It’s just 10 minutes from junction 31 of the M6.

Just look:

Henry the Eighth was wandering around today, although he didn’t stop to talk. He was so realistic, and regal-looking, I thought I was seeing a ghost until I noticed his slightly twentieth-century-looking slippers.

I know I’ll be going back again soon. I believe the Wild Lancashire Country Fair will be held there on 9th August - it sounds like it will be an amazing day in an equally amazing setting.
