What travelers are saying
- Woodbine_69Wrexham, UK55 contributionsWell worth a visit! There was no human guide available on the day we went, so we had to use the audio guide which works through your smartphone. (I don't think this is very good as far as inclusivity goes as obviously not everyone has a smartphone.)
I was expecting to see more caves than you actually do see, but still enjoyed the visit. The audio guide does bring it alive so that you see things you'd otherwise miss, and this makes it seem thatthe caves are longer than they are. It's fascinating to see areas reflecting use in so many periods of history in one tour.Written September 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The old courtroom is impressive and it’s worth attending a trial re-enactment that takes place.
Go downstairs to the cells and visit the hole in the ground in the dungeon.
Excellent small cafe inside as well.Written September 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Funny girl didn't say she was Finnish until she switched languages half way through the tour. Interesting museum with minature exhibit under microscopes upstairs. Grounds were nice to walk around and in the morning there were lots of deer at the front. Tour guide gave us directions to see the awesome oak tree afterwards.Written September 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Katy ABristol, UK14 contributionsUtterly bizarre place but really interesting if you have one of those morbid curiosity personalities... A lot of the exhibits will make you go "WTF" and some of them are even really scary and disturbing.. I enjoyed the experience though and would visit again.Written October 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Janet S1 contributionAs it was raining we didn't walk around outside or see wonderful views but the Cave Tour led by Barry was excellent. I wish I'd had a history teacher like him at my school many years ago!
There was more to interest us in the galleries than we expected and the cafe food and drink was very good.
Rather pricey visit but very enjoyable overall.Written October 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - JasLincolnshire, UK68 contributionsI visit this theatre a few times a year depending on shows.
I find the seats comfortable and spacious and temperature just right.
What I would like to see though is more of a staff presence in the theatre- unfortunately not all people follow theatre etiquette which spoils a show for those around them.
In front of us were a family with 2 children around the age of 10 who’s parents didn’t stop them from talking, sitting forwards in their seat, hitting each other and generally causing a nuisance. Personally I don’t think the show would’ve been interesting for 10 year olds but there wasn’t one member of staff around to intervene and just give them a gentle reminder to pack it in. Someone behind them did ask the parent if they wouldn’t mind asking their kid to sit properly on their seat but after 10 minutes they were doing it again.Written August 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Greg JWirksworth, UK14 contributionsWe were absolutely amazed by this museum that looks small on the outside but is actually extensive and of really high quality. The Brough motorbikes, the lace machinery, and so much more brought to life by incredibly knowledgeable and friendly volunteers. Very affordable, too cheap?!Written September 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Jennifer HWardington, UK21 contributionsLoved it - both from an industrial history point of view, and the social history of the "stockingers" and "seamers" who worked there, at first with the frame knitting machines in their own tiny cottages, then with much larger machines in the "frame shops". So noisy, with up to 20 machines working 14 hours a day, 6 days a week, that the workers went deaf. It was a hard life, poorly rewarded, as not only did they have to rent their cottages and the machines, buy the cotton to knit, and pay for the stockings to be transported to market, but thy were on piecework, so they got no pay if they were unable to work !
Volunteer guides Sally and Colin were excellent and the Reception staff were welcoming and friendly. I enjoyed my hands-on-experience in the Circular Knitting Shop which has an interesting video about the museum and the Luddites, as well as displays of many kinds of very fancy stockings, including Queen Victoria's!
There's a small shop with an interesting selection of (mostly) knitting-themed gifts, and a café with outdoor tables (as well as indoor ones) for a sunny day, And their white chocolate blondie is out-of-this world!Written October 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

As all other venues drinks are very expensive . Hard plastic chairs with not much room , very intimate when seated with strangers haha . Precarious if you need to get out during the event . Needs lighting on stairs . Great sound , great show , near to City centre . Will return again . Not too big which I prefer for bands .Written July 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Black Cat159 contributionsI came here on the way to a restaurant after visiting friends in the area.
The square is really nice and has a nice building on one side of it.
The tram stop serves both tram lines.
I would come here again if I was ever in the area.Written July 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
