"i'm hungry"

The Tithe Barn Restaurant located at Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre overlooks the beautiful country park where the famous Battle of 1485 took place.

The original barn was erected at Sandiacre, Derbyshire before being transported in early 2004, piece by piece, to Fenny Copse in Quorn, Leicestershire, for major renovation work. A specialist joinery firm, working alongside building historians, were engaged to sort, grade and using select English oak, repair the structure. Some original timbers were then used to re-erect the main structure of the barn which provides a unique focal point for visitors to the site.

The licensed restaurant offers an extensive daily menu of hearty meals and light lunches using predominantly locally produced ingredients. Food may be served inside the historic barn or outside in the tea garden and patio.

"Can I have one of those?"

There is a fantastic range of unique items and something for everyone, from toys to jewellery, books to tapestries.

The quest for originality and variety means that our shop is continually able to offer ranges.
