the bloom room

Need flowers in Formby? The Bloom Room on Brows Lane is your best bet. It's got a solid 4.6 stars from 32 Google reviews, which is a decent sign they know what they're doing. I've grabbed bouquets from there a couple of times for my mum's birthday, and they've always been fresh and lasted well.

They're open pretty much every day, 9 'til 5 most days, but close up a bit earlier on Saturday at 2pm. Sunday's they're back on it until 5pm. Give them a ring on 01704 831220 if you've got a specific request, or check out their website – thebloomroom.biz – to have a proper nosey.

It's a proper florist, not just a petrol station bunch, so expect to pay a bit more than you would at a supermarket. But the quality is worth it, especially if you're after something special.

Parking on Brows Lane can be a bit tight, especially on a Saturday, so give yourself a bit of extra time to find a spot.
