Hat Works - Access by stairs only.

Due to essential maintenance work the lift at Hat Works will not be operational between Thursday 8th June and Tuesday 18th July 2017. Our Gallery of Hats on Level 2 will not be accessible to visitors reliant on the use of a lift. This will not affect anyone attending a millinery course, baby session or Project.INC on Level 2 of the museum. Visitors wishing to experience our machinery floor and guided tour can gain access through our Daw Bank entrance by ringing 0161 474 2399 on arrival.
