At Quarry Bank you can discover a complete industrial community and experience the very different worlds of owner and worker, who lived and worked here side by side. Our Learning Space will be open for additional activities.

Explore all that Quarry Bank has to offer, from a working cotton mill, to tours of the Apprentice House where the children lived, and beautiful gardens in a picturesque landscape.
For this weekend only, join us in the Learning Space to learn more about the lives of the mill workers. Dress up, sign your indenture and have a go at some of the jobs you would have done. Take on the role of a mill worker and explore the mill to uncover their stories and work out what happened to them while they were here - what job do they do, how much were they paid, and where did they end up.
