Weaver Hall Museum and Workhouse
Weaver Hall Museum and Workhouse
Receive a warm welcome at this former Victorian Workhouse and relax in the museum’s café and Regalette cinema with introduction and archive film before exploring the galleries. Weaver Hall Museum and Workhouse is full of displays and tales of the local industry, market towns, transport, archaeology, and the building’s former history. The stories are told through room sets, costume, film and photographs and vivid displays of intriguing artefacts.
The museum is housed within the old Northwich Union Workhouse building. A special exhibition in the former workhouse schoolroom explores life for the paupers, and our visitors (adults too!) can dress up and imagine themselves as workhouse inmates learning all about the 3 Rs!
Around the rest of the museum you can find out about workhouse food, discover some of the people who lived in the workhouse and visit the recreated Master’s sitting room. Bring a picnic and enjoy the garden with herb beds and industrial heritage installations.
