The Museum is now closed until 2020 for redevelopment.
Constructed in 1850, the mill finally ceased textile production in 1982 and is now incorporated into the vibrant Shires Shopping Centre. Trowbridge Museum is uniquely placed to tell the story of the enterprise and industriousness of the men and women whose labours made the town the 'Manchester of the West', centre of West Country woollen cloth production.
Look out for The Wild Escape at museums and galleries in the next few months. Many have special events, or you can use our audio introduction to help children get involved at any cultural venue.
Visiting with children?
Use our audio introduction to inspire a visit to any museum, gallery or historic house local to you. Then, just send us your child’s animal artwork when it's finished and we'll add it to the epic collective artwork that launches on Earth Day 2023.
The more you see, the more we do.
The National Art Pass lets you enjoy free entry to hundreds of museums, galleries and historic places across the UK, while raising money to support them.
