It is that time of year again when my favourite garden centre reveals its Christmas displays. Bents in Glazebury never fails to disappoint and the Christmas markets are back this year for the second time. It fills me with joy as I enter the doors and see a glimpse of what is to come. Handily…
Bents Garden and Home opened their nine hole Jurassic Cove Adventure Golf in 2017 and it has become a firm favourite with my family. Not least for my dinosaur-mad three year old who refers to Bents as Dinosaur Lands which I love. At just three miles away from the farm, it really is on our…
