About Hat Works Museum

An exhibition at the Hatworks Museum on iconic style, trends and designs. Hats are displayed alongside a red mini car.

There’s lots to see, do, and try on for people of all ages in our new Gallery of Hats.

Explore the global connections of Stockport’s hat collection and be inspired by the array of colours, shapes, patterns and textures of the hats on display.

Take a tour of the factory floor where you can learn the hard hatting facts about Stockport’s hat trade.

Enjoy spending time in the museum café run by Arc Centre Stockport where you can enjoy great coffee, take in a creative wellbeing activity or exhibition.

Start your journey of discovery into headwear and wellbeing here, at the UK’s only hat museum.

Our factory floor tour is most suited to adults and young people but we also welcome children aged 8 and above. You can book a tour on selected dates.
