The Kirkby Lonsdale & Lune Valley Community Interest Company opened the new facility, in the former HSBC bank building, in June after protracted negotiations to acquire the lease. 'Moving from 24 Main Street to 29 Main Street sounds a relatively easy exercise,' said Tourism and Town Manager Sarah Ross. 'But it took our small team some considerable time and effort to make it happen. But it's been worth it because we have seen more people coming in to buy or to find out about our town, and coach parties are now mak- ing us their first port of call.' The new shop offers an expanded variety of gifts and sou- venirs, including a range of Tulchan clothing which spot- lights the architecture of the town. Help is offered to those seeking accommodation for a long or short stay, Sing at St Mary’s tickets can be booked for local attractions, and a series of guided town walks has proved particularly popular.
