When the Whitwell shop and Post Office facilities closed a search to find new premises was undertaken. The offer of the Parish Church to host a Post Office twice a week was accepted.
 
So, alongside the Post Office it was decided that the following would be offered:
 

  • Twice a week a coffee area where villagers and visitors could come and meet with one another.
  • Newspapers and stationery, greetings cards etc.
  • Dry-cleaning service

 
 
On Fridays there is the opportunity to buy local produce including:

  • Preserves and organic vegetables 
  • Home made bread and cakes
  • Garden – bulbs, plants etc.
  • Handicrafts
  • Local eggs 
  • Second hand books
