Although only a small village, Marsden's residents are an industrious lot.They always were, hence the mills!

Throughout the year you are never far away from another festival or special event. The Tunnel End Inn takes part in all of the major local festivals and events, from hosting live music during the Jazz Festival to supplying food and refreshments to complete your trip.

Whatever the weather come and relax by our open fire in the winter or enjoy our beautiful views from the beer garden during summer.

A visit to Marsden would not be complete without a visit to the Tunnel End Inn!
