September 11, 2026

Autumn is fast approaching, and Barrow town centre is alive with new menus, great nights out and plenty of things to do. Spend this weekend in the town centre and discover something new!

1. Treat yourself to Greggs new Autumn menu


📍Greggs, Dalton Road

We're not sure how to feel about Greggs' new Steak and Stilton Bake, but luckily, if you try it and don't like it you can swap it for a regular Steak Bake with their 'But I don't like Stilton insurance'!

The Autumn menu is packed with legendary combinations like the Chicken and Pepperoni Pizza Toastie, Buffalo Chicken Baguette - and of course, the return of the Steak and Stilton Bake.

2. Celebrate the Summer Reading Challenge ending with a full day of crafts
