Indoor play space
Join us for hours of indoor fun – set in the historic Quarry Bank
- Booking not needed
- Free event (admission applies)
From Tuesday 2 September – Sunday 1 November, come and enjoy the top floor play space inside the Mill.
Here, your little ones can enjoy hours of fun in the new soft play area, transform into their favourite characters using the dressing-up wardrobe, and take to the stage. They can also create puppet shows and challenge themselves with a giant board game. It’s the perfect space to enjoy, whatever the weather.
Please ensure that parents and guardians supervise their children at all times, and that all visitors are mindful of others using the space.
As the Mill is a museum, we kindly ask visitors not to eat or drink on the top floor.
Admission charges apply. Free entry for National Trust members.
