My band and I, @priceofmypig, played for a gorgeous wedding ceilidh here last night followed by a playlist. The barn we played in was understandably dusty, but had lots of power points and a wonderful feel. The rest of the place was absolutely lovely, with another space being used for food and speeches and the barn for the ceilidh and disco.
I have visited Swarthmoor in the area in the past for work transparency- I work for the Quakers. But I recently stayed in one of the cottages Hampsfell with a friend for a much needed holiday and we had a marvellous stay, despite the rain and drizzle. The cottage was extremely comfortable with everything we needed. The beds in particular were hotel quality and we both slept extremely well. Neither of us drive but it is a straightforward walk from the station through the walking path along the primary school, then through the fields we did have walking shoes which are needed when it’s wet. In the evening we used a local cab firm when we wanted to eat in town and we also had a delish Indian meal delivered one night. It was handy having the cafe there for lunch and coffee and the gift shop had many lovely items. The walled garden at the back of the main house was very atmospheric in the mist. We will be back!
Okay, so we turned up on a winter open day without realising it was an open 'garden' day so we never got to see the hall. There was a beautiful field of crocuses but not many other plants or flowers to see.nGood facilities with a nice cafe.
A really interesting place to visit to understand the foundations of the Quaker movement and its undergirding basis of peace and love for humanity and creation. There is a small gift shop and a lovely café with seating on two floors. Friendly and welcoming staff and volunteers. Parking for cars and motorhomes.
Visited Swarthmoor Hall in Ulverston today—a modest 17th-century home with a big place in Quaker history. Once home to Thomas and Margaret Fell, it welcomed frequent visitor George Fox, the movement’s founder. After Thomas’s death, Margaret married Fox, and his carved travel trunk still sits in the bedroom. The house’s dark wood interiors and peaceful gardens offer a quiet glimpse into the past. Not a long visit, but a rewarding one for anyone interested in history and heritage.
