First visit here and what an interesting and engaging experience. A marvelous space with excellent exhibits that demonstrate a range of skills from a number of local and national industries and trades.nThe staff are friendly and engage well with visitors, providing clear and useful comments and information. We used the cafe which was very good with a good range of menu and at a very reasonable price. On a cold day we had home made soup and bread both were delicious. All in all a great experience that we will definitely repeat. A credit to Derby and a real gem for its citzens and visitors to Derby
Derby Museum is an amazing place to visit! The staff are very friendly and did explain everything in detail. The collection of paintings, antiques, and many other fascinating exhibits make it a truly enriching experience. A must-visit spot for anyone interested in art, history, and culture
A lovely experience! The museum is beautifully designed, with so much to see and learn. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in Derby — a great mix of history, creativity, and local pride.
We visited today and 10/10 for the wonderful staff, both in the museum and the cafe. Everyone was super-friendly and helpful and made us very welcome. We visited the Earthbound exhibition on the top floor on until January 2026 and it was fascinating, hugely varied and easily the same level as London exhibits in, say, The Science Museum or Tate Modern.nnI have mobility issues so I was chuffed to see loads of seats to have small rests on and a spacious lift to all floors.nnWe also had tasty food in the cafe and flat white that hit the spot.nnIf you haven't been, go. If you have, go again!
We have just celebrated our 5 year anniversary at the Italian Mill Museum of Making and cannot fault a thing! From start to finish the staff at the venue were amazing, so helpful and accommodating in the arranging process but also on the night, the staff were so so friendly and guests even commented on this. The venue is absolutely stunning and our event decorator Silhouette Events brought our ideas to life in the most wonderful way. It’s such a gorgeous space and perfect central location when you have people travelling from different places which we did.nnWe had plenty of space for our DJ, Dancefloor, Photo Booth, soft play and snack table. We had 110 guests and the space was perfect. The price for hire is so reasonable which was also a major factor for us as some similar event spaces in and around Derbyshire with this same industrial style were just way out of budget.nnPlease consider this location for your event! We and the guests were blown away at how gorgeous it looked on the day and when the lights go down for the evening, it’s magical! Absolute 10/10!!
