There's always something going on and the chances are you'll come away with your arms laden with treasures. You can practically see the dollar signs covering your eyes after you take it all to the Antiques Roadshow. This never happens. The Grand Charity Flea Markets are the best events to attend. It's here that books and videos are sold by the tonne, as well as household bric-a-brac, furniture, collectibles and a whole lot of crap. The fact the admission fee is a laughably small 30p makes it seem like something from the 1940s and is another jewel in the crown of the lane.

The community association is a registered charity which is run by its members. It is the heart of Lark Lane. Many different groups use the centre including self help groups, after school groups, pre-school groups, sports groups and tarde unions. Many different events take place at the centre such as polling day, jumble sales, flea markets, fairs, music events, exhibitions, record fairs and public enquiries. The building used to be the police station on lark lane and is often referred to as the Oid Police Station by locals. It comprises of 2 large halls which are used to their full potential are I doubt are rarely unused throughout the year. It seems that in this day and age we have forgotten the meaning of the word community. If you need reminding of this then check out the St. Michael's and Lark Lane Community Assosiation.

Jesus Hiroshima Christ, this place is weird! Stepping into the musty burrow that is the Cabin Club,…read moreyou find yourself seriously pondering whether you just stumbled through a rip in the space-time continuum, ending up in 1988. Either that or the whole building just belched its way into the future and the only way you'll recognise the customers' faces is from missing persons posters in your neighbourhood. There's just something forlorn and eerie about the place. For starters, it's huge. Walking past the bar you'll find a dance floor. Cross that and descend the stairs to find another one. From here you can take one of forty labyrinthine corridors, all leading off to deserted dance floors, dim bars and booths where shadowy figures drink and grumble. Adding to the pervading sense of ghoulishness is the fact nothing seems to have been altered in twenty years. Date-stamped photographs depict parties of frizzy perms and fading grins. Business cards with 'carphone' numbers are pinned to the walls. We tried ringing some of them once but got no answer, imagining ancient brick phones suddenly coming to life in far-flung attics. Put simply, the Cabin Club is an oddity, but a must-see. There's great fun to be had picking out all the chunks of weirdness and wondering what room contains the bodies, but ultimately the only reason anybody would go there would be for the same reason they go to freak shows, to gawp.

The Cabin is a place of mythical Liverpool lore and something I grew up hearing stories of my…read moreparents' escapades within these hallowed walls. There used to be sawdust on the floor, and no one was ever sure whether it was just a quirky feature or to disguise random pools of vomit. There used to be a huge rocking horse that punters would dare each other to climb onto. There used to be a formidable man (some say ex-police) on the door who wouldn't let you in if he didn't like the look of you. Unless he didn't like the look of you but thought he could take the mick, and then he'd charge you a tenner to get in. Walking into the Cabin is like walking into one of those halls of mirrors at a funfair - you get an odd, surreal feeling in the pit of your stomach (if you're not already too drunk) and find it hard to latch on to reality. Despite all this, you can have a fab night out here and wake up the next morning thinking it was all a Mighty Boosh-esque dream.

I have been a member for a few years now and it is under the management of Michelle Hughes that the…read moreclub is flourishing. There is a great sense of community, super social activities, excellent food. The staff are always so helpful and professional. I have noticed real positive changes. I have social skill problems and Michelle has been an absolutely super welcoming host. Including me in events, and always supportive and caring. The club offers so many different activities and the bar area is cosy and enjoyable with many guest ales and new artisan gins on sale. You can just meet for tea and coffee and the bar food is home made and delicious. I hope Michelle continues at the helm for many years to come.
