Enjoy a hands-on, family friendly activity exploring prehistoric weaving.
Ever wondered how people made clothes in the Stone Age before machines and electricity? Travel back thousands of years this summer at Queen Street Mill and discover how our Stone Age ancestors lived, created, and clothed themselves!
In this hands-on, family-friendly session, you'll explore the fascinating world of prehistoric textiles. Learn how early communities crafted cloth using simple tools and ancient techniques. Try your hand at weaving on a traditional hand-made weighted loom, just like people did in the Stone Age.
Your ticket includes full admission to Queen Street Mill, so after your prehistoric weaving adventure, continue your journey through time! Explore the museum, witness historic industrial machinery in action, and see just how far textile production has come. It's a unique and fun way to bring history to life—for curious kids and grown-ups alike.
Queen Street Mill is part of Lancashire County Museum Service and Lancashire County Council's Cultural Services.
