Travel, Stay & Parking

Holmes Mill is a multi-use space, comprised of The Spinningblock Hotel, Bowland Brewery, Bowland Foodhall (and farmshop), Boiler House Bowling and Everyman Cinema!

Our Wedding Ceremony will be held in the private space located above Bowland Brewery, and afternoon drinks held at the Spinningblock Hotel Bar, before returning to the private space for the wedding breakfast and evening reception.

Parking is available, though it can be a little tricky. Onsite parking at Holmes Mill is paid and limited, as it’s open to all customers using the facilities.

For guests arriving the night before the wedding, we recommend using the free street parking available in the surrounding area.

For guests arriving on the day of the wedding, we’ve arranged additional parking at Clitheroe St. James’ Church of England Primary School (Greenacre Street, Clitheroe BB7 1ED), directly opposite Holmes Mill. This car park will be available from Saturday morning until 3pm on Sunday, and we’ve covered the cost for you.

 

Clitheroe is a town located in Lancashire, 34 miles north-west of Manchester.

Travelling via car from Manchester will take 50 minutes.

Travelling via train from Manchester Victoria station will take 1-hour 15 minutes, plus a 15-minute walk from the train station.
