During April we were pleased to host the launch of the Broxtowe Country Trail, a 27-mile cycling or walking trail which connects with the Erewash Valley Trail, and takes in many of the region's points of interest, e.g DH Lawrence country, Wollaton Hall, Attenborough Nature Reserve and of course Strelley village.  Leaflets are available in the Museum pen in the Cafe or to download from Broxtowe Borough Council website.

We stock delicious Bluebells ice cream which we sell by the scoop to eat in or take out. We always have six delicious flavours to choose from such as strawberries and cream, devilishly chocolate, sticky toffee fudge or dairy free pear and elderflower sorbet. Bluebells is a local family run farm that produces homemade ice cream from their own cows' milk which travels less than 20 metres from the milking parlour to be made into ice cream. Why not pop in and try some for yourself!
