We had a lovely afternoon here with an interactive exhibition on both cotton and wool. There is a rich and deep history recorded here and it is fascinating for locals as well as textile enthusiasts. The tour is fab, the machines still work and the staff as super knowledgable and friendly. I'll definitely recommend it to everyone!

Had a lovely afternoon here, friendly welcoming staff, they provide two interesting and informative tours, highly recommend. Great cafe as well.

2 hours at most to walk around. Guided walks every half hour very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Lovely place to take the children. Shows them how lucky they are not having to work in a cotton mill. Speaking of which kids go free and adults are just 4 of your British pounds which is fantastic. Café is good as well nice ambience and good value. I didn't take pictures so you can go and see this hidden gem yourself.

Absolutely wonderful! The Biennial exhibition was great and the tour as ever was excellent. Great staff too!

Great day out nice cafe on site. Plenty free parking

A great place to visit to see history in action and show off our local area’s history. Not been in the cage yet but will be back for a longer visit soon enough

This is a very interesting mill museum and rather unusual as it covers both the wool and cotton trades. Tours of both sides of the mill are offered by docents and are quite informative. I particularly liked how they connected common expressions to their origins in mills, ie. "spinsters", "a cut above" "on tenterhooks". All of the equipment used is on view on both sides of the mill, but on the cotton side there are machines that still operate. Seeing them demonstrated, I tried to envision the noise, dust and danger involved in their use. There are interactive displays as well and some wonderful period photographs. Their gift shop has lots of interesting books and toys for children. The staff couldn't be nicer. Very friendly and helpful.

Enjoyable museum with lots of exhibits and tours offered of both the cotton mill and the wool mill. Enjoyed both of my tours today. Highly recommended.

Interesting museum for both wool and cotton l

Great museum, lots about the cotton industry and how it affected the local area. Got to see the machines in action, which was fantastic. The staff were great, doing everything from the till, to tours, to the cafe. Lady who did the tour around the machines was particularly good, really knew her stuff and explained the whole process. Cafe also good, had a nice cake and a drink. Spent over three hours here, great place to visit.

First time visit. Enjoyed looking round and impressed with friendly and knowledge staff.

Reasonably priced entry and friendly staff. We were treated to an informative tour of both mills and then strolled around at our leisure.

Staff were very informative and friendly. Very impressed with the care and attention that has gone into maintaining the mill. Definitely a revisit!

A fantastic visit with knowledgeable and friendly guides that brought the history of the mills to life. To see the machines actually working was amazing and the exhibition was child and adult friendly. Well worth the entrance fee of £4 for an adult. I can highly recommend a visit!

Local gem, friendly and knowledgeable folk. a history lesson with smiling faces, you'll leave knowing a bit more about the world that was. The canteen is also decent with the staff doubling up. On a good day the lodge pond outside is beautiful so take your sandwiches outside!

Lovely experience today as a stallholder! Will definitely be back in November ❤️

What a fantastic museum! Absolutely loved the cotton demonstration. Everyone so knowledgeable and answered our many questions. Spent over 3 hours here. Lovely cake T the cafe. Highly recommend.

A brilliant place to visit! The museum is fascinating and the volunteers give excellent guided tours. There's also a wonderful café. Highly recommended!!

Been coming here over 20 years. Lovely little place. Cafe inside is great and child friendly. Opening times are seasonal so make sure you check first. Taking the kids is eye opening for them to experience what life was like. A must visit if your in the area!

Great museum, with a woolen and cotton mill. Great value, with talks and demonstrations throughout the day. Good value cafe as well

Amazing visit. This is our local history. Need to ensure it remains. Tasty lunch in the cafe too

Very good place to spend an afternoon with friendly and informative staff and a nice brew at the tea room afterwards. Will be back again as very low entry fee too. Follow up with a visit to the even more amazing Queen Street Mill in Burnley.

Truly excellent local history museum. To see the original machinery fully working is just mind blowing. Great informative tours with knowledgeable guides. A good little cafe too and plenty of free parking just outside. Thanks to all the staff.

Amazing seeing the mill machines in action. Friendly helpful staff.

Fabulous, inspirational, eye opening and educational. Highly recommend a visit. Amazing tours, brilliant, enthusiastic and helpful staff and guides, something for everyone. So much better than quarry bank and only £4(concessions also avail)

Excellent presentation of spinning and weaving. Wish we'd allocated more time for our visit.

Very interesting and well presented museum with demonstration and explanation of the key machines. Well worth a visit, along with its sister museum, Queen Street Mill in Burnley.

Really good museum, very interesting information and a really good guided tour showing the machines working

Took the guided tour, really informative. A wonderful look back at the heyday of cotton & wollen Mills in Lancashire. Definitely reccomend à visit.

Interesting museum .nice staff lovely cafe reasonable prices.

Great place to lease about Beautiful Lancashire, the cotton and wool industry and the struggles of old lives. Proud to be a Lancashire lass

We had a very enjoyable time here and the staff in particular were informative and helpful. Thoroughly recommend a visit for a fasinating insight to local social history.

This is a fairly small museum but there is plenty to see and learn about the history of the textile industry. There are regular, informative and interesting guided tours with demonstrations of the mill machinery in operation. Informative displays. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and keen to share their knowledge. Well worth a visit if you're interested in industrial history.

Very interesting place to vist we were recommended and i would recommend ..staff were lovely never realised there was so much work to make cotton ..

Fascinating and educational look into the region's industrial past. Knowledgeable staff and demonstrations of still working machinery.

Really good experience! Really knowledgeable and friendly staff. Shame that it's only open a few days!

Thank you to all the great staff at Helmshore Textile Museum, who went out their way today to help my infirm dad really enjoy his visit. We really appreciated your help

Really interesting woollen and cotton mill with good displays and original machinery.
