WENTWORTH & ELSECAR


Elsecar by the


For much of the 20th century Elsecar was an unlikely holiday destination for residents of Yorkshire.


The picturesque reservoir in


the village inspired its nickname, Elsecar by the Sea. A beach, park, cafe and


boating jetties were built. Visitors travelled from miles around to enjoy daytrips in its pretty surroundings. That tradition has been brought


back to life over recent years. Each summer, thousands head to Elsecar to be part of the village’s annual celebration. This year Elsecar by the Sea


takes place on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th September and will bring all the fun of the seaside to the quaint historic site, once


sea Life is sweet


Earl Fitzwilliam’s village of iron and coal. At the centre of the weekend


is the village’s community gala, taking place from noon on the Saturday at Elsecar Park, organised by the Forge Community Partnership. Families won’t be disappointed


as there will be lots to keep them entertained, including: a beach, live music, fun entertainment and a vintage bus. You will also have the


opportunity to take a look at Earl Fitzwilliam’s 1795 Newcomen Beam Engine, the oldest steam engine in the world still in its original location. Steam trains will be running through the weekend too. End summer in style, make a


date in your diary for a trip to this action-packed weekend.


When you enter Emily’s Traditional Sweet Shop the wonderful smell of sweets and the sight of all the jars immediately transport you back to your childhood.


After 24 years in the travel


industry Samantha Cox decided on a change in career and took over ownership of the shop in April, deciding to keep the existing name Emily’s in homage to her great grandmother, Emily Maynard. With her customer service


and chatty personality Samantha makes the shop a welcoming place to visit for young and old, locals and visitors. Samantha has many old


favourites in the shop from liquorice root, flying saucers, sherbert fountains to bon bons, as well as 18 flavours of award winning fudge, you won’t know what lovely delight to pick first. She is proud


to support local business Cocoa Drop, who are artisan chocolate makers, producing everything from truffles to chocolate moustaches and even slimmers treats, if you are being good. You can also call in to discuss


sweets for a special occasion, party bags or sweet cones for a celebration or even a baby shower. Perhaps you need a gift for that person who has everything, then why not order a gift box full of their favourite treats. So, if you have a sweet tooth or


know someone that has, call in for a lovely trip down memory lane.
