Temptations is situated on the main street in the traditional market town of Bentham. Although it has a Lancashire address, we're actually just over the Yorkshire border and only 7 miles from the Cumbria border. We regularly get visitors from Ingleton, Lancaster, Morecambe, Sedbergh, Kendal, Settle and Kirkby Lonsdale.

Although Temptations has been trading since 2001 under the current owner Christine Grieve, the shop has sold similar items for over 40 years before then. It stores everything for the knitter, from knitting bags to patterns and various yarns from Stylecraft and J C Brett. The shop also sells an extensive range of haberdashery. For the patchwork and quilter we have over 600 designs of 100% cotton fabric. Most of these are available on our online store as well as in the shop. We also sell dressmaing fabrics, books and are agents for Brother Sewing Machines. Our staff are friendly and helpful and have a vast amount of knowledge regarding the products and crafts that the shop provides. Particulary popular are our regular classes in sewing, crochet, embroidery and patchwork. For more information on these see the menu marked 'classses'

The shop has been called an 'Aladdins Cave' by our regular customers so if you are in the area then do pop in.

If you are looking for anything in particular and cant find it anywhere - give us a call and we will try and help you.
