Welcome to Saddleworth Museum and Gallery, a registered charity and fully accredited museum that tells the story of the people who have created Saddleworth's landscape and character. The museum has something for all the family, is wheelchair friendly, and presents its collections, shop, and facilities in a thoroughly modern way within the carefully restored fabric of a building dating back to 1862. Our canal-side community gallery provides additional space for the local community and hosts varied art exhibitions, presentations, museum fundraising events, and learning activities. The museum is open daily from 1-4 pm, with guidance, and admission is free for "Friends" of the museum.
The reviews highlight the museum's engaging exhibits, friendly staff, and reasonable admission fee as major strengths.
Only one reviewer, Jerry Halliday, had a negative experience due to unclear information about entrance fees and donations, but all other reviews are highly positive.
