Phase One Of Major Investment Opens At The Wensleydale Creamery
20/08/2010
The Wensleydale Creamery at Hawes, in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, has opened phase one of its new look Visitor Centre with a new specialist cheese shop, deli, and coffee shop, as part of a £800,000-plus expansion.
The Creamery is substantially expanding its popular Visitor Centre to meet customer demand. Tripling the size of the extremely popular cheese shop has provided a more spacious sales area for its traditional-style, waxed and muslin-bound cheeses, and more room for cheese tastings too.
The deli’s offering includes more than 100 quality regional food products, sourced from local suppliers
The new ‘1897’ Coffee Shop now has a capacity for 72 guests. Serving speciality coffees made with delicious milk from local farms, the coffee shop has spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. The Visitor Centre has already recruited four extra staff, taking employee numbers to 43, with more to follow during the next few months.
The centre is already one of the largest tourist attractions in the Yorkshire Dales with more than 200,000 people a year coming through its doors. It is estimated the new-look Visitor Centre, which is being extended in phases, will attract an extra 50,000 visitors a year.
The design of the extension is in keeping with the surrounding locality with the external walls built in local natural stone.
