The Poulson Room

Located above the Red Lion Pub, the Poulson Room is generally used for overflow dining seating and meetings.

The Red Lion Pub

Welcoming families and even dogs, the Red Lion pub opens daily. To help keep everyone safe, please follow the directional and social distancing signs and take a seat after ordering.

With plentiful outdoor seating, it is the perfect venue to enjoy the period street and do a touch of tram spotting. Please note that our security measures include the fact that we may randomly request to search your bags on entrance.

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 Parlour

The Ice-Cream Parlour serves Matlock Meadows traditional ice cream from 12:30pm. Due to Covid-19 Up-dates, please pay for your ice-cream at either Barnett’s Sweet Shop or the Forge Gift Shop and take your receipt to the Ice-Cream Parlour to receive your ice-cream.  Face coverings are recommended (unless you are exempt under government guidelines). This is to help keep our visitors, staff and volunteers stay safe and reduce the handling of cash.  There is limited seating outside.
