About this activity

Colne Valley Museum is a charming and immersive experience that takes visitors on a journey back in time. As soon as you step through the doors of the museum, you'll be transported to another era. The authentic Victorian village, complete with cobbled streets, cottages, and shops, is a sight to behold. The buildings have been lovingly reconstructed, furnished with period-appropriate artifacts and decorations, and staffed by costumed guides who bring the village to life.

Wander through the streets of the village and you'll feel like you've been transported back in time. Take a peek inside the village's cottages and shops to see how people used to live, work, and play. You might catch a glimpse of a weaver at their loom, a blacksmith at work, or a baker busy making bread. The attention to detail is impressive, and you'll feel like you're really experiencing life in the 19th century.

But the village is just the beginning of what the museum has to offer. There are also exhibits on local industries like weaving and farming, which give visitors a fascinating insight into the history of the area. The exhibits are informative and engaging, with plenty of interactive displays and hands-on activities for kids to enjoy.

One of the museum's most popular attractions is the miniature railway, which winds its way through the picturesque countryside around the museum. Kids (and adults!) will love the chance to ride on the train and take in the beautiful views. And if you're lucky, you might even spot some local wildlife along the way.

The Colne Valley Museum is a wonderful day out for families, offering a unique and immersive experience that will transport you back in time. With authentic exhibits, interactive activities, and a charming tearoom, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
