New tribute to Corrie opens in Manchester garden centre

The Daisy Nook garden centre in Failsworth, Manchester is a garden centre with a difference. Not only does it have an enviable reputation for friendly staff and knowledgeable advice, they offer everything from plants and pots to water features and fish, from gifts and furniture to chimeneas and sheds.

And now they offer something very special for Coronation Street fans.


For some time Daisy Nook has run tours from the garden centre visiting filming locations used by Coronation Street and shoppers may have bumped into some of the cast there as they’re suppliers to many of them. 

Now, Daisy Nook have added a range of official Coronation Street merchandise including bags, mugs and coasters – and they’ve put together an exhibition of Corrie memorabilia including costumes worn on the show, props, mementoes and much more!  It’s open every day and is free!


The unofficial exhibition of Corrie items was opened this week by two Corrie favourites, and the picture above shows owner Mark Llewllin with Jennie McAlpine and Graeme Hawley (Fiz and John Stape) at the event.

So if you're in Failsworth, why not pop in to the Daisy Nook garden centre?
