Musicians from Jazz on a Sunday, including regular Rochdale Online music reviewer Tony Sheldon, came to join in with the friendly, champagne opening ceremony this afternoon.
Owner Linda Haworth says she hopes to be a part of Castleton’s re-growth of businesses and shops.
She said: “This is the first time I have opened anything like this and I am excited to be doing it.”
The Mayor, Councillor Keith Swift said: “It is wonderful to see businesses opening up in Castleton and I’m sure it will be a great success.”
