Whitworth Heritage Museum

General information

The Whitworth Historical Society are based at the Whitworth Museum on North Street in Whitworth. We are open to the public on Tuesday evenings from 7.30 to 9.30pm, and on Saturday afternoons from 2pm to 4pm. We also hold monthly lectures on the first Wednesday in each month between October and June each year.

Admission to the museum and to the monthly lectures is free, but as we are self funded any donations are always appreciated, and this helps us to keep the museum running.

Becoming a member of the society is easy and reasonably priced too, at just £7 per year, with membership renewals starting after our AGM, which is always held on the first Wednesday in November (usually along with a very enjoyable potato pie supper). If you would like to become a member just pop along to the museum when we are open, or to one of the monthly lectures and ask a member of staff for details. Volunteers of all ages are always welcome too, we can always find you something interesting to do, and you'll find that we are a very friendly bunch.If you would like more information about this please feel free to ask on this site, or contact one of the club officials via the links on our website.
