Collins and Butterworth Pharmacy

Collins and Butterworth is the community pharmacy  in Hawkshead in the English Lake District. We are the local pharmacy to the residents of Hawkshead, and the many visitors who come to the area.


The village itself is in the beautiful Esthwaite Vale, close to Esthwaite Water, and lying between the bigger lakes of Windermere and Coniston Water. Hawkshead is a place of ancient buildings around a maze of narrow streets and squares. Find out more through our links pages.

What we do

It's About Caring

We care about lots of things. Our community, Hawkshead. The people who come here to our pharmacy. Clients. Customers. Patients. Local or visitor. It doesn't really matter; we care for everyone in the same way whatever the labels. We care what you think of us. We want you leave us knowing we've cared about you. If you feel we haven't let us know.

It's About Quality

We pride ourselves on the quality of our products and services. Our pharmacy team work hard to make the pharmacy look good, and to provide a top quality range of products that you can trust. We source our supplies from reputable companies that we trust. Equally, we work very hard to make sure our service is of the highest standard we can manage.

Its About Value

We aim to offer good value for money across our range of products and services. That doesn't mean we will always be the cheapest, but our combination of quality and service means we offer great value. And our prices are very competitive, even compared with the major supermarkets. See our Pricecheck to see just how competitive we are.


We care about Pharmacy

Our family have been in pharmacy for almost a century. Things have changed a lot over that time but that heritage is important to us. We've kept the things that are good about the past, but we've not been afraid to move with the times. The core values of respect, integrity, honesty, good service, confidentiality. We have built on that through continuous investment in people and technology to offer a 21st century pharmacy service.

We're not just about great service though. Despite being in the heart of the Lake District, our partnership with Numark means we offer great value on many products.
