Home of the BBC TV series Happy Valley, the town has a wealth of independent shops and businesses and hosts a variety of colourful festivals and events throughout the year, attracting thousands of tourists.

The Leeds/Rochdale Canal runs through the town and the surrounding moorland provides numerous trails and paths for walkers and cyclists, making the area popular with day visitors and year-round holidaymakers.

The business has built up a reputation for great customer service and offers knowledgeable, friendly advice. It therefore enjoys custom from a loyal, local clientele as well as visitors to the town.

With an average weekly turnover of £4000, this purchase would offer a great opportunity for a couple or individual seeking a lifestyle change or an outdoor enthusiast wanting more involvement with the trade.

Supporting the business is an online shop built using Shopify software.
