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.
