Feel at Home at Loom Loft

Discover aspirational Lancashire living at Loom Loft, an aesthetically stunning interiors store featuring local manufacturers and suppliers and a vibrant mezzanine bistro serving food that stays true to the local ethos.

Loom Loft – The Furniture and Interiors store located at the heart of Lancashire’s stunning Ribble Valley, with views across to Pendle Hill and its beautiful surroundings. The store was designed and built with passion by a family and team that have a strong Lancashire heritage and ties to its industrious years of weaving mills; so it’s was important that the store reflected this and supported the local community. This has been accomplished by sourcing, and offering a wide range of luxurious furniture and accessories from Lancashire (in fact they ensure that over 50% of their collection supports Lancashire’s own manufacturers and suppliers), which is complemented by a smaller number of fabulous items sourced from outside the Red Rose county’s borders.

Whether you’re sprucing up your home with a new style, or stamping a mark on your first home, they have an extraordinary selection of contemporary, traditional & bespoke furniture for you to choose from; such as sumptuous sofas, Italian leathers, dining sets, art, rugs, cushions, candles, reed diffusers, home accessories – including clocks, objet d’art, statues, and the occasional quirky ornament (sure to be a talking piece in your home!). Buying furniture should be as comfortable an experience as the items themselves, so instead of searching online, come in store where you can see, touch and experience products and speak to their expert friendly sales team.

You’ll discover a true warm Lancashire welcome, an excellent, friendly customer service team, and a stunning bistro where you can sit back and consider your next purchase.

The Loft Bistro, with its rustic & chic industrial feel, is located on the upper mezzanine level, so you don’t have to wander too far to find dishes with a local flavour. Ruminate over your decor decisions with delicious fare created by our chefs using locally sourced ingredients. Of course, you don’t have to be buying furniture to visit their 72-seater bistro is a great meeting point for families, friends, and even business acquaintances. Enjoy breakfast & brunch, signature dishes, sandwiches, salads and delicious cakes. All with our easy access location just off the A59, near the historic town of Clitheroe. With 50 free car parking spaces, a designated area for cyclists, and excellent accessibility to all areas of the store, it’s the perfect choice for finding those special items to brighten up your home.

And, if you’re inspired to purchase any larger items, don’t worry about trying to squeeze it into your car boot! Loom Loft offer a dedicated local white glove delivery service to get your home’s new addition to you with care.

Come and visit Loom Loft or The Loft Bistro today, and live the good life, locally.
