Whenever we have a little time on our hands and are feeling the need to 'do something', we hop along to Salts Mill! There is always plenty to see there - just browsing the kitchenwares department can take an hour (and all the beautiful china displays!). I always see lots of families there too, so it seems good for a... More

There is a fantastic range of design and price of unique beautiful jewellery at Kath Libberts. It is just beside the Salts Diner, so you can have coffee and cake or a lovely lunch whilst you choose that special piece of jewellery.

Well worth a visit, if only to see the David Hockney gallery. There is also a good selection of books and cards for sale and places to eat and drink.

Salts Mill is not a museum so there is little in it of historic interest relating to its former use. It was acquired for its vast open space some of it is now reused in a delightful way such as the book shop on the ground floor but other parts are just commercialised areas trying to sell high priced tat...

A must see if you are travelling in Yorkshire. The biggest mill in the world during the time of the Industrial Revoution now converted into a vast gallery. Has a wonderful flavour of India and Yorkshire blended together. You could easily spend a whole day here browsing the art works (David Hockney's) and others and all the various books. Lovely... More

I have been eating in salts diner for many years and can't understand how it could be described as being run in a "commercial conveyor belt way" Both management and waiting staff always try their hardest to deliver an accommodating, fast and freindly service. The food is always freshly made and delicious and the coffee is possibly the best i... More

Although I'm from Lancashire I had never heard of Salts Mill - I'm really glad I was introduced to the place. I never imagined that a mill could be transformed in such a way, yet still keep the feel of the majestic building and its past. The mill was bought in 1987 by Jonathan Silver who turned it into the... More

I loved the sense of history and impressed with the refurbishment. I love the art work of David Hockney. Good restaurants. Take some money to buy all the lovely stationery and books.
