We are a museum of cotton spinning and stocking making, based in a Grade 1 Listed Mill building, at the centre of the beautiful Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site. We also offer local and tourist information. We are open from 13.00 to 17.00 Weds to Sun in Summer (March to end of October) and from 13.00 - 17.00 Sat and Sun in Winter. We are also open on Bank Holidays and usually run a walk on Boxing Day. There is a small charge for visiting the museum which, as a registered charity, helps us to maintain the museum.
