Family Activities at the Mill: Time Traveller’s Tours

Time Traveller’s Tours

A tour for the young, and the young at heart. Come and learn about the history of the mill through games and challenges (you can get dressed up too if you want!). Do you have what it takes to be a master mill worker?

Tours last approx. 45 minutes, including a visit to the Arkwright Experience. Please wear clothes and shoes you can move comfortably in. Suitable for 3+. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

£10 per adult, under 16s go free. Max 3 children per paying adult. Max 10 people per tour. If there are enough tickets left for your chosen time slot, but they are not in the correct ratio of adult to children’s tickets, please ring Reception on 01629 823256.

Please let your guide know if you do not feel comfortable sharing equipment with the other members of the group, and we will do our best to accommodate you. All games will be played outside unless it is raining heavily. Adults will need a mask for the Arkwright Experience, which is indoors.
