About Helmshore Mills Textile Museum

Visit a place where Lancashire's industrial past is brought to life through a multi-sensory experience like no other. Witness spellbinding historic machinery in action; where the noisy clicks, clunks, thumps and distinctive scents will transport you to another era. Nestled in a stunning rural location, explore one cotton and one wool mill to learn about an industry that shaped local Lancashire lives and the industrial heritage of Britain. There's lots to discover to feed curious minds of all ages. Learn about the smelliest and the most dangerous jobs in the mills and experience family friendly, hands-on interactives. The events programme includes a wide variety of activities, from family fun trails to history and nature walks, as well as live music evenings. Relax in the café with a nice cuppa and scrumptious homemade cakes.
