Bygone Times Antiques, Eccleston, Lancashire U.K Reviews

Great place as always... difficult to dig out the gems from the tat but that will always be the case.

They try and ensure social distancing but this is difficult in crampt aisles... especially when people do not follow the arrows.

Give yourself time. This is a big centre.

Good few hours browsing but some of the prices are rediculas.

Not been for 12 months but I am just about to visit again. This place is amazing, with a varied and vast selection of antiques at reasonable prices.

Nice food from the cafe lots of shops to keep you busy

Interesting place to visit on a Sunday afternoon. A collection of antique /vintage/contemporary jumble in an old mill. A bit like a chaotic museum where everything is for sale. Really interesting and charming. The cafe is particularly good and I can recommend pie and chips

Good place to visit for craft ideas or browse amongst collectable items

Always an interesting place always something new to see and a great cafe

Amazing array of stalls from all kinds of antique dealers with lots of nooks and crannies to explore.

What''s an antique these days? If you like tat you'll love it. Also be prepared to pay to get in.

Always a good place to wander around, you never know what you will find

Huge antiques fair, but need a full day to get around it.

A random assortment of vintage/pre loved and modern items. Ranging from bric-a-brac to furniture.

Not been here for a while but worth a visit even if just browsing if nothing else it will bring back memories of years gone by

Good afternoon out at bygones, loads of stalls and bargains!

If you can't find it in here then you probably won't be able to find it second hand

Bygone Times is housed in an old mill and covers 6 floors selling a wide variety of antiques. They also sell a lot of bric-a-brac. There is no limit to what can be found there.

Love it here, much more to see now with extended rooms. You need a few hours to browse properly with a break for lunch in their fabulous cafe. If looking for that something different or antique, this is a must.

Bygontimes itself is realy good and well stocked the cafe is far to overpriced and the food is terrible you would be better buying a takeaway from mcdonalds

Very disappointing, not been for a good few years, but it used to be full of interesting jumble from the states and other parts of the world.
But today just seemed to be row upon row of the sort of tat that's reproduced to a low standard in third world countries.
Very little original, junk that shouldn't be Wasting space even on the market, and broken things that can be bought in asda.
I didn't manage to get all the way around so hopefully it will get better on the floors I didn't visit.
But all in all, please go back to selling genuine original curios. Today wasn't worth the entry fee.

Come have look around never know what you might find been coming for over 20 years never fails to suprise with what is available.

Huge selection of random items.

Like a charity shop on steroids.

You are guaranteed to find something to take home

Little coffee shop in there too

Helpful staff

If you come, and come you should,
Make sure you come early because this place is HUGE and full of memories

So glad you have taken the camera's down and we can carry on coming to Bygone Times and enjoy the visit like we did yesterday. We had not been for a while since reading the reviews about the camera car park. We had a wonderful day and lunch yesterday and look forward to coming again very soon.

An amazing Aladdin,s Cavern of a place. If you love antiquities and bric a bac this is the place to visit.

Great antiques , 100s of stalls to look.at cafe on.the premises ,worth a visit if your looking for something different

Great place to find old antiques, rare items and collectables, vinyls and old furniture. Its great to explore the different floors and find things you didnt expect. The classic arcade games and world war 2 exhibition are slso worth exploring. The cafe is pleasant, plenty of parking, and once you pay a small fee for membership its free entry. Great place to explore for an afternoon.

Great place for a rummage. Need all day to look round it all. Found some great stuff.

Love this place something for everyone. Also a plus now that daft car parking system has gone

Visit during covid 19 restrictions.

Staff are lovely and always willing to help. All areas are cleared sign posted to show the one way system.

Food is reasonably priced and tasty.

Inlige going to Bygone Times as you never know what you are going to find.

Love this place. Full of really interesting stuff. You can spend hours in here!

Could spend the day in there, so many different floors to explore and see lots of vintage items

Would highly recommend ! Plenty of stalls and something for everyone.Had a lovely panini and coffee at a very reasonable price in the cafe.Will certainly visit again

Want a place, so much to see, something for everyone. Will Be Returning..

It's been a few years since I visited here and oh my hasn't it changed.

It's expanded, a bigger car park, disabled lift and proper disabled toilets in a brand spanking new ladies set of loos.

Thank you for looking after your less able bodied visitors.

Came here expecting to spend under an hour looking at old collectables, but ran out of time because there is just so much! You can find some really cool stuff in here if you're able to spend a day doing so. Prices are all very reasonable

Good for a mooch! you can pick up some great bargains

Oh my gosh I could have spent so much money. I came away with nothing which is a miracle. But I'm going back tomorrow to see if my find is still there

I love it here, but always seem to spend hours browsing and shopping,.......

My visit to bygone Times was very enjoyable thank you hope to be back soon.

Packed with wonderful antiques, retro items and collectibles at fair prices. We have scored a few bargains there! The only down side is the cafe, which used to be good, but in recent months has gone downhill, is over-priced, and the staff seem unhappy to be there and aren't shy about letting you know it! Plenty of toilets and disabled access, but the parking can get tricky at busy times!

Looking for something from yrs ago ,this is the place for you

Always a fascinating place to visit. You just never know you will find.

A lovely place with something for the whole family. Free parking, cafe and loads of small stalls selling a whole range of yesteryear products. Well worth a visit and the kind of place you can go back to throughout the year.

Good day. Disappointed the cafe stopped serving food at 3.00

Good day. Disappointed the cafe stopped serving food at 3.00

What a great place to mooch around even if you don't buy, it's like going down memory lane.

Great day out if you like looking at things from the past

Great place to shop always find something, one way system in place, so Covid safe

Great place to wander about. We're a coat on cold days as it can get a bit breezy. Most people will remember items from their past and it's great to reminice. The building is a collection of individual owners selling there items through one shopping point.

The prices are reasonable and offer a great collection of antiques and curios. It can take hours to see everything on show but there's a nice coffee shop, cake sandwiches etc. There's a lift to certain floors for the less mobile. Some items you can get 10 percent off but keep an eye on the tags. Those with NT or NL on the ticket means there's no movement on price. Truly this place will make you feel that you've had a wander through your childhood...

Large bric-a-brac retail outlet near Chorley with large number of individual stalls owned by different people offering a huge choice of items for sale. Prices are generally not very expensive except for one stall which has some nice Clarice More

Watch out for the parking they try to trick you into a ticket.

Love coming here but you do need to give yourself plenty of time because there is so much to see the cafe is very good as well tasty and reasonably priced

Great variety of items and good old furniture on the furthest bottom floor

Good selection of antique, retro and if you are looking for something different and original but not new this is the place.

Great place where you can spend well above 4 hours just browsing. The cafe is very reasonable price. Don't expect to go home without purchasing something.

This place is huge - full of interesting stuff for sale. There's a small cafe, lots of parking and some fascinating free displays. Can recommend if you like browsing.

If you can get past all the junk there's some really good stuff

Amazing place, could stay for hours and not see everything

A great place to visit. You can while away a few hours browsing all kinds of vintage goods. Clothes , jewellery, furniture, records, books, and tons more.

Great place for a mooch around if you want to find something different

I take my parents here they love it,always come away with something

The perfect place when you're looking for something a little different. Loads of little nicnac things you won't find anywhere else, great for vintage bits and pieces. Recent expansion has seen the ranges on offer grow and grow. There is a small problem on parking at peak times but it's rare you can't park. Can easily spend a couple of hours here just browsing.

My visit to bygone Times was very enjoyable thank you hope to be back soon.

I love all the different antiques stalls but I'm not impressed with the way I saw staff treating customers. There was a couple looking to make a purchase with 20 minutes remaining before closing but they were told the alarms were on. Why would the alarms be turned on 30 minutes before closing. The couple had driven 45 minutes out if there way, to make this purchase. They seemed extremely polite when faced with unhelpful and dare I say rude staff. It's the holiday season and you would think they could of been more understanding. I really felt sorry for them and I'm not use if I'll return..

Amazing place, I love how they sell vintage stuff and collectables! The Old Penny Arcade I mostly love since some of the machines in there were from the now shut down Botany Bay! It's so much playing them with the old pennies! The only I'm More

Friendly staff and good place to spend time and bargain hunt

A wide range of stalls from a wide variety of traders. A good selection of antiques as well as craft and other stalls.

Great place for Antiques and collectables. Has everything furniture, vintage clothes and jewellery etc and a cafe for that much needed rest

Will not be going again. In the past we have found some really good bargains on our wander round. Now, it is mainly cheap plastic tat form China.
Cafe is a lot bigger, more seating but the menu is pretty dire, very expensive and not great quality.
