Bankfield Museum

Great museum to visit for young & old. We went really to see The Gentleman Jack's Exhibition. Wonderful display of costumes used by cast members. Lots of military things to see & read about. Fashion & textile display. A small toy exhibition too. There's a little shop & cafe, toilets as well And it's free. .Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Very pleasant museum and building. Worth checking out. The fashion exhibits, both the regular one upstairs and the special Gentleman Jack one in the main halls, are wonderful. The Shibden Hall history exhibit is great. The toy section is fun. The military and jubilee exhibits are good, if you're into that. The tea room is nice to be in but the offerings are limited, good cup of tea anyway.

Went with our daughter to visit the Gentleman Jack costume exhibition. Spent almost 2 hours here. A number of interesting exhibits and all for free. We'll worth a visit .Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Fantastic visit to Bankfield Musem.we went to see the costumes on show from the TV series "Gentleman Jack" which were wonderful to see,but found so much more at the Museum from the history of ghe Duke of Wellingtons regiment to the original period clothes from the 1820s and 1830s.the staff were friendly and helpful. Definitely a must see destination.

Please visit this museum! FREE ENTRY. It needs our help. It is so difficult to rate somewhere like this when there is so much more potential for the building. Not only a worthy museum since 1887 but the former home of Edward Akroyd, a local mill owner who also built Akroydon for his employees. Maybe next time I can rate it 4 or 5 stars?

Currently has a exhibition of outfits worn in TV series "Gentleman Jack" very good. Lovely building. Will go again.

Wonderful experience with lots of history of Halifax and surrounding areas especially Shibden hall and the bonus was all the costumes from the TV series Gentleman jack definitely worth the voluntary donation for the upkeep of the museumVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure

This is a lovely small museum with a fabulous Costume/Fashion gallery. The building itself is lovely, though like many other council owned buildings has suffered from neglect, with signs of a leaky roof and a broken window.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
