Witherslack Community Shop
We are a local Community Shop set up in 2006 (see below for our history) and run by a small committee, with two part-time paid managers and a wonderful team of around 20 volunteers.
The shop sells a wide range of groceries, fresh and frozen local produce, local damson items, Suma and Ecover ranges, bird nuts, greeting cards, stationery, tobacco, kindling, walks and cycle leaflets and the Westmorland Gazette. We cater for the many cyclists that pass our doors – see below for cycle route details and our cycle-friendly items.
Our homemade cakes are legendary and are provided by a team of local bakers, together with sweet and savoury items from the team at Oversands School – see below for details.
You can order Higginsons/Grange Bakery/Aireys goodies, as well as any other regular items. We recycle batteries and arrange dry cleaning. We also promote community activities, host the Parish Council planning folder, bus timetables and tourist information.
CYCLE-FRIENDLY SHOP
We cater for the many cyclists that pass our door with homemade cakes, energy drinks, bananas, water top-ups, bottled water and soft drinks, ice creams, etc, and in the future we hope to stock a limited supply of inner tubes, puncture kits, patches and energy gels, either at the shop or the pub.
