So glad that we visited this museum as we found it very interesting. We spent an enjoyable 3 hours here and there was a great variety of exhibits. We arrived just as they opened on a Sunday and had the place to ourselves for a while which was good. Entry is free but a donation is appreciated.
Took the kids here yesterday to get them out of the house for the school holidays. Nice place to visit and the kids enjoyed it. It is free but I made a donation. Spent nearly 2 hours walking around. They do have a car park down the bottom but it's not obvious from the main road.Visited onWeekdayWait time1 hr+Reservation recommendedNo
Visited during Easter holidays whilst the event was on. Brought 3 children, 9,10 & 13 year old. They all enjoyed the event and the staff and volunteers were amazing with protective gear ready and ensuring the children were using tools safely. The museum was quiet and the machines were not on but we had a print demonstration where we had a photo opportunity and then at the end the children made their own badge. Would visit again with events on. Very accommodating.
Great free day out. Parking is limited, and parking out front is sketchy at best. It was raining heavily when we went and the flagstones were slippy on the walk to the museum. There is a great open reception/event space/cafe as you walk in and it is free to enter. I'd suggest maps of the museum to be given to visitors as we wandered back on ourselves a few times as we weren't sure if we missed things. Lots to see, lots of historical equipment to see - we particularly enjoyed the old style cars and steam train area. There are a couple of interactive bits, but found they weren't maintained very well perhaps for schools visits?. There are some old terrace houses set up with windows to view in on the way out/outside - which was a nice bonus. Although enjoyable, glad it was free.
Can't believe such a high value place is free. We donated after a visit to the gift shop so that it could be assigned to this museum please ask staff about donations for further info and there are a couple donation points/change collectors dotted around but noone hassles you or prompts you to spend anything. The staff were so approachable and friendly with directions and helping/welcoming. We slowly walked through and there was so much history. Inside the mills, they have the machines switched on and demonstrating several times a day the times also stated in several places as well as detailed history all over the walls. Great for kids as well as adults, really immersive. Parking is available out front, and if you drive through the gate there's a car park for quite a number of people. Displays outside as well as in with 'back to back living' houses that you can go in and look around. Great day out.
We loved our visit and found lots to do. Mark, who was looking after the many wool machines, was very knowledgeable and helped us out - providing ear defenders for our little boy. It's not as busy as it deserves to be! One suggestion is that there could be more info on some of the exhibits such as the signs and steam loco. But overall it was good.
*weekday during the holidays. Was nicely presented, clean and interesting. The car park was a little tricky in terms of size and we expected a little more in terms of interactive activities. However overall a nice few hours out & my three year old enjoyed it.
A free visit to the Industrial Museum which showcased machinery, vehicles and industrial practices was a couple of hours well spent. The kids enjoyed it too, especially seeing the motors in action.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
We've visited the BIM for many years .... started with our children now aged 28 & 31 , then grandchildren, and today, with the youngest aged 3 and had a super visit. There is so much to see and a lot of information, which is great , so you're not just looking at machinery from a bygone era but can truly appreciate it. The BIM suits all ages, but don't forget to leave a donation..... No hesitation in recommending
Self guided tour, its nice going at your own pace. Free entry, but you can make a donation. Had an amazing couple of hours experience of how things were back then. Lots of machinery which have certain running times. A few area to keep the children from getting bored also stop the rat! The blacksmith work shop is worth a visit, he was hammering away when we stopped by.
