Barnett's Sweet Shop

Barnett's Sweet Shop

An Aladdin’s cave of treats. Old fashioned jars of sweets, tins of confectionery, foil wrapped bars of fudge and toffee, all jostle for space in our period shop. There are also branded ice-creams available.

Ice Cream Kiosk

We have a converted vintage van in our new outdoor eating area serving traditional Matlock Meadows ice cream. The van takes card payments but for hygiene reasons, if you want to pay in cash, you will have to go into our gift shop or sweet shop to buy a ‘ticket’ to hand in at the van.
