Free Entry to Paradise Mill (pre-booking is required), chat to the History Hunters about the real people who worked in the Mill plus explore the Musuem and Tunniciffe Garden.

Explore Paradise Mill's surviving weaving floor and learn about the people who once worked there. Watch and listen to the memories of past employees and their relatives and discover how research into the museum's archives has enabled our volunteers to uncover the lives behind impersonal lists of workers' names preserved in the archives.

Volunteers who researched and produced this brand new interpretation will be on hand on the day to talk about the process of researching and filming the videos
