"If you are staying in Matlock and need to do a bit of grocery shopping, you will first think this is a bit out of town -even when one considera how small Matlock town centre is. However, it can be closer than you think. Find the train station and there is a shortcut to Sainsbury’s via a bridge over the tracks.
It is a clean store, a bit more compact than my local Sainsbury’s is, staff are friendly and helpful."

Our History
Architect John Nutall was commissioned by the local council to build a new public multipurpose building in Matlock Bath. ‘The Kursaal’ (a name that was later replaced with ‘Pavilion’) opened its doors to its first customers in 1910, costing the council circa £10,000 to build. In July 1914 WWI was declared and the building was soon re-purposed for billeting troops, military offices, a small picture house which entertained the local community through the war, and later a glove factory.
