Manchester Mills

Runs daily

Follow the thread of Manchester's cotton industry as thunderous original machinery spins and weaves cotton into cloth in this fascinating demonstration. Please note that the Textiles Gallery will be closed from 13 September to 8 October inclusive as part of the Main Building redevelopment work, so the demonstrations below will unfortunately not be taking place during this time.
