    Very impressive collection of Tiffany Glass and a lovely place to hold a small wedding.

    What a hidden Gem. I only live 20 mins away but never knew it existed until one of its patrons and antiquarian Eric Knowles mentioned it whilst he appeared on pointless celebrities. There were some great artwork exhibits too

    Free entry but a little disappointed 😞 Lovely Tiffany Glass displays but very few paintings. An Accrington photography exhibition is downstairs with some professional looking photos. Nice cafe with a reasonable menu made up of quite a few vegetarian dishes. However, I was disappointed with the asparagus and smoked cheese quiche, it looked lovely but unfortunately it tasted bland, I would never have guessed that it was made with smoked cheese, I tasted more like a mild cheddar. Sorry I ate it before I had time to take a photo as I was sarving. 😆

    Situated in a lovely park just south of Accrington Town Centre, the Haworth Art Gallery is a must see - and the premier attraction of Hyndburn District with its' display of beautiful iridescent Tiffany Glassware. As well as the Tiffany Glass, this small gallery also has a selection of equally beautiful paintings on display. If you are hungry, try to get a place at the onsite Gallery Kitchen (beware, it can be very popular), for some delicious grub, & you can finish your visit with a gift from the Gallery Shop. The staff are friendly, as well as knowledgeable, & I would definitely recommend Haworth Art Gallery as a half day trip - and repeated trips just to sit & admire the art in one of the galleries - or the scenery outside ! Oh, and the Gallery is free to enter too (donations welcome !)

    Lovely displays and well written history of Tiffany's Only taint on the visit was the lady in the gift shop that you have to walk through to get in and out. She became quite snooty when it was apparent we were not buying anything. Maybe she was just having a bad day 🤔 i hope so

    Great place to go and visit. It has restrooms and a cafe. Got a carpark and nice grounds to walk in and admire the scenery. It's free entry and plenty to look at.

    This was a quick visit just to see what the Haworth art gallery had to offer. It was a free open day, quite busy. The Souvenir shop was located at the entrance. The ladies at the Souvenir shop were really friendly. Tiffany Glass was the main theme located upstairs. A highlight for me was the stained glass window located on the stairway. I have attached an image of just one of the many features of the window. There is a cafe. The house has a vast history and has a beautiful garden for a walk. There are toilets but I didn't use them. There is a car park which is free. I will return to give a more in-depth review at a later date when I am not on a time restricted visit.

    Absolutely gorgeous. We celebrated the marriage of my uncle and his partner and they both had a fantastic wedding!

    Nice free art gallery housed in a beautiful old building in Accrington. It's in a lovely park with views across the local countryside. It has a marvellous collection of Tiffany glass and displays about the previous owners of the house. There's a limited display due to covid restrictions, so you won't see many paintings, but what you will see is stunning. It's got a cafe, shop, toilets and carpark. You can also visit the gardens, park and artist's studio when you're here.

    The gallery is home to the work of an artist named Tiffany which is connected to the movie with Audrey Hepburn. Breakfast at Tiphany's. Super cool fact and the gallery looks great.

    Nice grounds to walk around including a Rose Garden. Lot of history with art and sculpture. Got a cafe and rest room. Easy access with carpark. Dog friendly. It is known for Tiffany Glass.

    A lovely place to meet friends. The lunch I had was delicious, well presented and reasonably priced. My friends were also suitably impressed. We stayed for quite a long time but we weren't rushed. I shall be visiting again.

    Had a very interesting visit here and saw some beautiful exhibits. Also enjoyed our meal in the restaurant. The chocolate milkshake was out of this world

    Great tour of the art and glassware. Cafe was good with a varied menu. What a wonderful place to find with connections between industrial Lancashire and the beautiful creations of the Tiffany empire.

    Pleasant staff. Good food and drink but a bit pricey. Nice gardens for a short amble.

  • 5/5 Peter und Gisela W. 1 year ago on Google
    An excellent museum with a collection of Tyfanny glass and other items. The very pleasant tea rooms to relax after a visit are good too.Very friendly and helpful staff.

    Lovely, interesting small gallery and family home. Arts and Crafts building. Very good cafe, fresh and well produced food.

  • 4/5 Liz W. 1 year ago on Google
    Very impressive collection of Tiffany glass in this old mill owner's house. The house itself is lovely, in the arts & crafts style, set in gardens and looking out over the countryside. Nice cafe in a wood-panelled room. All the staff were friendly and helpful - and entry is free!

  • 5/5 Joyce B. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent exhibitions. Changed regularly. Very welcoming, knowledgeable staff. We also visited the restaurant. Very good food and efficient staff. Would very much recommend a visit.

    Great gallery - particularly enjoyed the Cloth Cultures exhibition.

  • 5/5 Anna W. 2 years ago on Google
    I went to see a specific exhibition and wasn't disappointed. It's a lovely old house for a gallery. Staff and volunteers were so friendly and I really enjoyed my visit. Couldn't visit the cafe cos there was a wedding on. Hope to go another time.

    Fantastic hidden gem - a little bit tucked away, but worth the trip. The collection of Tiffany glass from the early 1900s is amazing, but there's a lot of good art to see and the building itself is magnificent. There's a great cafe onsite, and the views out over the hills and the little rose garden are just the icing on the cake. Would definitely visit again

    A light sprinkle of snow and the views were stunning from Haworth Art Gallery today. I was attending a baby shower there with afternoon tea. Staff were young and lacked confidence but were polite and happy to assist. Afternoon tea was very pretty with plenty of sweet treats. Would have personally preferred a little extra savoury or a bigger sausage roll... very yummy. Close and intimate space filled with a great bunch of ladies made for a very special baby shower. Lovely place for a gathering.

    So fortunate that Accrington's own left the town with a wonderful endowment. Glass collection is stunning and the building with its view of the Moors is worth a visit on its own.

    Lovely place to get married and and great for kids

  • 5/5 Linda O. 2 years ago on Google
    Well worth a visit and we had afternoon tea and that was lovely too

  • 5/5 Matthew H. 2 years ago on Google
    Fascinating arts and crafts house with a good Café in the old dining room.

  • 4/5 Keith S. 2 years ago on Google
    Really nice setting. Wedding on so no tea room and we could only catch a glimpse of music room. Very little art (tho good), a couple of sparkling Tiffany pieces but the rest rather dull. Unfortunately the house is a museum but not a house or home. Surely it should be fitted out in at least a couple of rooms as the lovely Arts and Crafts home it deserves to be.....which would give it the atmosphere it deserves. Staff very friendly and helpful.
