The village holds an annual well dressing (on the second Wednesday after the first Sunday in August) and a carnival (on the following Saturday).
Barlow's church is dedicated to St Lawrence. Barlow Woodseats Hall, on the edge of the village, is the only manor house in the parish and dates from the 17th century.
